Christian Jongeneel stopped drawing comics when he found out he was better at writing. He published two novels, a book on the philosophy of science and thousands of articles in newspapers and magazines.

He returned to the world of comics as the managing director of Cross Comix. Together with Gwen Stok he published a poetic graphic novel about the Dutch colonial past in Indonesia, called In iedere vezel. He also runs two other cultural organizations, International Story Station Rotterdam and Letterhaven.
