Betje Ton used to work solely as an illustrator until she stumbled upon some autobiographical comics while she lived in the United States. Inspired by cartoonists such as Erika Moen, Lucy Knisley, Roz Chast and Jeffrey Brown she started making comics about her own life.
She now writes and draws for Dutch teen magazine Tina, reports on her climate actions through her illustrated newsletters and draws cartoons live at events besides her illustration work.
