Oog & Blik offered books mostly for an adult audience. It published original and translated
graphic novels,
underground comix,
autobiographical comics,
picture books, and
silkscreens by Joost Swarte. Around 2010
De Bezige Bij bought Oog & Blik. Joustra was fired in 2014 and started a new publishing company called Scratch Books. Almost all comic books artists left Oog & Blik afterwards to join Joustra's new company. Bezige Bij quit publishing comics in 2015 and further activities as Oog & Blik were put on hold. The story of Oog & Blik was used as a case-study about creating and sustaining artistic independence. ==Creators==
