Comic strip artist Creator/WillyVandersteen (of ''ComicBook/SuskeEnWiske'' fame) also drew two well known comic books about the character. \n The first is more or less a retelling of De Coster's book with Uilenspiegel being a protestant freedom fighter taking on the Spanish occupation troops with trickery and subterfuge. The second sees him helping the Dutch by taking a ship to ''New Amsterdam'' and helping the natives fighting the corrupt Dutch governor.

Only one of many examples: when the Duke of Lüneburg forbade Eulenspiegel to set foot in his country, Eulenspiegel bought a cart and filled it with soil that didn't belong to the duke. In a famous story, he goes into an inn and agrees to eat the ''nobleman's meal'' for ten guilders. After the last course is gulped down, he tries to convince the landlady that for him eating the meal SHE now owns him ten guilders (he ''agreed to eat'' the meal ''for ten guilders'' after all). Eventually they settle on him just leaving with a bottle of whine for his 'efforts'

** This is actually referenced on tiled stove in Artus Court (a sort of hangout for merchants) in Gdańsk, where one particular tile depicted him giving this to the audience. A common joke played on new visitors was to "bet" that they won't be able to grasp the stove at the base of it - only for them to try... and find their lips at Eulenspiegel's buttocks (which was kinda true to his name - look at MeaningfulName above)
