Jakub Dębski (Polish: [ˈjakup ˈdɛmp.ski]; born 10 June 1988), known online as Dem or Dem3000, is a cartoonist, writer, and YouTuber most known as the creator of the Kuce z Bronksu animated web series. His most prominent comic books include Raptory (2018),[1] Magowie (2020),[2][3] and Czyjś Syn (2024).[4][5]
Comics
Jakub Dębski started his career publishing webcomics on his website in 2004. He first gained popularity with Duże ilości naraz psów in 2007[6] and self-published his first printed comic book Brak zrozumienia dla realizmu in 2010.[7][8]
His style consists of basic stick figures on simple white or gray backgrounds. He has been called a minimalist cartoonist[9] with his works exhibited next to other Polish minimalist comic book artists.[10]
His semi-autobiographical work Czyjś Syn has been named The Best Independent Comic of 2024 at the Złote Kurczaki award show.[5]
He is a co-founder of NetKolektyw, a group of webcomic artists from Poland.[9][11]
YouTube
In 2011 he published his first video on his YouTube channel - an advertisement for his webcomic merchandise.[12] Over the years he expanded the scope of his channel. As of February 2025 it includes a variety of formats - comedy sketches,[13] animated shorts, genuine[14] and satirical[15][16] vlogs, film reviews,[17] top 10 lists[18] and video essays.[19] His most famous works include an animated series lampooning My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic called Kuce z Bronksu[20][21] and Star Trek Przerobiony, a show created by cutting clips from Star Trek: The Animated Series and replacing the soundtrack with new voices.[22]
During the 2020–2021 women's strike protests in Poland some characters and phrases from the Kuce z Bronksu series were featured on numerous protest signs.[23][24] Dębski reacted by fully supporting the protests, creating new banner designs, and a special episode of the series.[20]
Private life
Dębski spent first two years of his life in Zalesie Górne in Masovian Voivodeship, and later grew up in Mrągowo, Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship. As an adult he settled in Kraków.[25]
