Another popular comics creation of the past decade is 'Fokke and Sukke', cartoons about a canary and duck who give their vision and opinion on virtually everything.
Comic artists of the newer generation often have to fight to establish themselves, and only a few are able to make a living by just creating comics.
Another new phenomenon in Dutch comics are the more "artful" comics, such as the experimental publications by Stefan van Dinther and Tobias Schalken, and the wordless, panels of 'Gutsman' by Erik Kriek.
Sigmund is best known as the father of Sigurd the dragon-slayer, though Sigurd's tale has almost no connections to the Volsung tales.
Volsung and Sigmund were attending the wedding feast (which lasted for some time before and after the marriage), when Odin, in the guise of a beggar, plunged a sword into the living tree around which Volsung's halls was built.
Sigmund's story may be based on older material than that found in the Sigurd story and it is more directly involved in matters of family descent and the conquest of lands.
