Spotting figures

Is it a rabbit? Runs one dog chasing a ball? And I see there Popeye not?
In the Netherlands, an estimated 240,000 people have vitiligo. Most specialists suspect that the skin disorder is caused by an error in the immune system: the body attacks its own pigment cells. This creates white spots that differ in size and shape. They can occur on the whole body or on part of it; and hairs that grow on white spots often turn white. 

Some people choose to hide their visible spots because it makes them insecure. But not everyone chooses to adapt. Others manage to be who they are, (precisely) thanks to the blank spots. They show their vitiligo. Ask them about it and they will tell you about it. Some people get even more out of their white spots: then you suddenly see clouds or Islands. Hearts or butterflies. They continue their search alone or with friends. They pick up a pen and give shape to their found creation.

Shortly before the annual World Vitiligo Day on June 25 Vitiligo.nl the most striking and funniest figures and combined them. The result is this collage, which the association distributed online and which was also briefly shown in a broadcast of Hart van Nederland. In the September 2020 issue, Lilian Slump appears with her Miffy on the cover, and elsewhere in the magazine various people talk about the figure they shared.  
The September 2020 issue will be published at the end of week 39.
