Widow Marc Sleen moved by annual waffle bake as in the Nero comics: "Hoeilaart has not forgotten my husband yet"

In Hoeilaart, a waffle baking event was held to commemorate Marc Sleen, the creator of the comic character Nero, who passed away ten years ago. The event, reminiscent of Sleen's comics, attracted many locals, including his widow, Catharina Kochuyt, who expressed her gratitude for the continuation of this tradition. Sleen, known for his satirical take on current events, is remembered fondly in the area where he lived. His grave features an image of Nero and a nod to the iconic waffle bake that often concluded his stories. Kochuyt shared her emotional connection to Sleen, especially during this time of remembrance.
