Signature

Herr Seele, the pseudonym of Peter Van Heirseele (Torhout, Belgium, 13 April 1959), is a Flemish cartoonist, author, actor, piano tuner and piano collector.

He is mainly known for the absurd humor comic strip Cowboy Henk, for which his colleague Kamagurka writes the scripts, while he makes the drawings. The comic has been published in HUMO since 1981 with only a minor interruption from October 2011 until the spring of 2013. During this period Seele made another gag-a-day comic series Dikke Billie Walter. Since the spring of 2013 Cowboy Henk appears in the magazine again.

In 1983, Herr Seele starts acting for television, his first show being Sfeervol Bullshitten, which was written by Kamagurka. It was followed in 1985 by a 20-part series, called Kamagurka en Herr Seele, written by the duo for the Dutch VPRO. After these first successes, other shows followed like Johnnywood, Wees Blij Met Wat Je Hebt, Lava[3] and Bob & George. He has also made the radio show Studio Kafka with Kamagurka.
