I don't know anybody from around my age who didn't grow up with Nijntje, it's become such a cultural icon. It definitely played a part in my childhood, so thank you for everything Dick Bruna.

Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Bruna. Sad Miffy is very adorable, and your works helped made her a worldwide hit.

I'm happy that he was able to pass away peacefully in his sleep rather than by cancer or some other condition that usually gets reported on ANN. Thank you for impacting many lives.

RIP

Rest in Peace, Mr. Bruna! I still remember the Miffy mechanical pencil I had back in elementary school.
