Dikkie Dik picture stories have been featured on Sesamstraat since March 8, 1978. The stories always began with the phrase, "Hier is weer een nieuw avontuur van Dikkie Dik." ("Here is another new adventure of Dikkie Dik.") Jet Boeke is the writer and creator of the stories about the naughty orange cat. She was inspired by her own cat, who was snow white and died in 1994. Since a white cat on white paper on television doesn't work that well, the cat became orange.
