Appie Happie is a comic series that started in 1971 with Dik Bruynesteyn as a writer and illustrator. The strip appeared in many newspapers as a daily strip and later appeared in albums.
The main character is one of the players in the Taaie Tijgers football club, but he also participates in other sports. He is quite stout, naive and fond of bananas. He is not insensitive to female beauty, to which he usually responds with the exclamation "Pop-pul-lup-pee".
Appie's football club, the Taaie Tijgers, plays in uniform with - how could it be otherwise? - a motif of tiger stripes. Other players are Pietje Pelee, Sjakie Strijkijzer, Dinges I, Dinges II and in the goal long Jan with the cap.
On the sidelines are the trainer (a colonel with a pith helmet) and the sponsor Simon S. Smakeloos, manufacturer of garden gnomes.
The billboards along the football field display texts such as "Keep calm, eat salmon" and "Firma Liszt & Bedroch - not good money away".
There is usually someone in the stands who asks "Am I here with the seed onion growers?"
