Do you like taking selfies? Do you like having your picture taken with BVs? Then you should definitely come to the sea wall of Middelkerke at the Paul de Smet de Naeyerlaan! Aunt Sidonia is sitting on a selfie bench with the most beautiful background you could wish for behind it. Share your photos with the hashtag #MachtigMiddelkerke! The statue was made by artist Matthias De Wolf, who also made Agent 212 for the go-kart track on Rauschenbergplein.

Explore the corners of our galaxy together with Suske and Wiske and meet strange and new civilizations. Be charmed by Lambik's antics, moved by Sidonia and admire the superhuman powers of the strongest person in the world: Jerom!

Super beautifully designed bench with a comic figure based on the numerous bronze figures on the promenade 👍

Aunt Sidonia is a Flemish comic character from the Belgian comic series "Suske en Wiske" (of which there is also a sculpture in Middelkerke!). She is the aunt of Wiske and the adoptive aunt of Suske.

In the original Flemish publications, she was called Sidonie, while the Dutch translations called her Sidonia. After the series was changed to Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands in 1964, the character was changed to her final name Sidonia. She even announces this to readers at the beginning of the album "De Nerveuze Nerviërs" ("The Nervous Nervii") (1964). In English translations of the series, she has been called Aunt Agatha, Aunt Sidonia and Aunt Sybil.

Friends of the family are the super-strong Jerom and Lambik, a detective. Sidonia is in love with Lambik, but he does not return this love. Another regularly appearing character is Professor Barabas.

The characters live near Antwerp. The adventures take place on different continents and in different eras and periods.
