Subject

Doe Mee was a popular comic read by Anne and Margot Frank. It was published from 7 May 1936 until the end of December 1942. The comic was a publication of the Algemeen Handelsblad. It offered Dutch youth comic strips such as the Katzenjammer Kids (Jongens van Stavast), Popeye and Flash Gordon.[1]

There is a photo showing Anne Frank on the sunbathing lawn of the Amstel Park swimming pool reading the 29 July 1938 issue.[2] The 22 December 1939 issue also listed Margot Frank of Amsterdam among the winners of consolation prizes for the Sint Nicolaas puzzle.[3]

During the war years, problems arose over the mostly American-origin pictorial stories in the magazine. Eventually, the publisher stopped the publication. A restart after liberation was unsuccessful.[1]
