Sjors en Sjimmie

Description

On the side wall of the iconic comic shop ‘Sjors’ in Dordrecht, there is a mural depicting the well-known characters from the comic series ‘Sjors and Sjimmie’, arranged from top to bottom: the Colonel, Sally, Sjors and Sjimmie. The artwork was designed by Robert van der Kroft, who took over and modernised the comic series in 1975. The mural was originally painted at the end of the last century. In August 2024, it was fully restored and refurbished.
