Boes ("Ox Tales") is a Dutch newspaper gag-a-day comic strip created by Wil Raymakers and Thijs Wilms. It was created in 1980 and spawned a popular anime television series between 1988 and 1991, titled Ox Tales in the English-speaking world. The comic managed to outlive the animated adaptation and still continues to appear as a column strip in various Dutch daily and weekly newspapers until 2011.
