Joseph Ferdinand Doeve (2 July 1907 – 11 June 1981[1]), better known as Eppo Doeve, was a popular Dutch painter and cartoonist of Indo descent.[2] He was born in Bandung, Indonesia and moved to the Netherlands in 1927. He was invested as a Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau in 1973.[2][3]
His cartoons were mostly published in Elsevier Weekblad and later in Elsevier Magazine.[3]
He also drew two newspaper comics, Mannetje Bagatel (1946) and Kleine Isar, de Vierde Koning (1962), both with text by novelist Bertus Aafjes. Doeve was additionally active in advertising illustration. [4]
