To some extend yes. When i was planning zigle zogle out (still in its animation phase) the characters were already different from what massa said he planned from them. the only similarity was the basic concept of the shy guy, the good fellow and the trouble maker living together. There was no reason to keep the ongezellig skin (especially after ongezellig was finished).
The potential monetary gain (if the comic ever turns into an animated show) would have been hell if zigle zogle was just the "ongezellig soyjack parody".
Overall, it's just better to have it as my creation inspired by zellig (even massa agrees when saying "A little fanart at times is fine but taking inspiration from Ongezellig for your own creation is much more interesting.") 

I do like the idea of Maya (and how she was portrayed), although i do think that her being mixraced beyond salvation wasnt that necessary (cool idea nonetheless). I really don't know what Massa planned for her problem's solution to be, but I am happy that Watamote wasn't a huge inspiration (that manga is dead as hell).
Mymy had a lot of potential. She already is the "ultranationalist" who would die for the Netherlands, despite her being a japanese larping as white. You could go for the tricky questions connected to ethnicity, nationality and culture in the 21st century and why do they hold any intrinsic value to begin with. But ig it's fine for her to just be the comedic character of the show. It also appears that she would have taken the eric cartman role of starting problems for the other two to fix, so we chill.
Coco is weird and could have been done better, as i have said already. Her parents just being killed by a lightning was disappointing. Nothing else is important about her past, which could have been expanded (for example, what happened to her right after her parents went dood, was she hopeless for a while until she was picked up by the schoppenboers, was she ever tempted to let loose and do some...illegal actions?). She just appears as an already perfect character, who just has a few bad memories.
