Sigmund (comics)

Doctor Sigmund is a Dutch gag-a-day comic strip, created by Peter de Wit.

Sigmund made his first appearance in an educational TV documentary series for Teleac about the art of drawing comics, presented by Dutch comics artists Hanco Kolk and Peter de Wit.

De Wit explained he came up with an idea for a gag-a-day starring a dwarf-like, one-eyed psychiatrist whose cynical attitude towards his patient causes them to hate him.

[3] Many gags feature black comedy, such as suicidal patients, serial killers or people with mental issues.

[8] According to the author the comics are very popular with actual psychiatrists who put them on display in their waiting room for their clients to enjoy.
