Smørbukk

Smørbukk is a Norwegian comic strip. It was started in 1938 by text writer Andreas Haavoll and illustrator Jens R. Nilssen.[1] The first Smørbukk story was based on the fairytale Buttercup collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe.[2] The strip appears in the children's magazine Norsk Barneblad, as well as in separate albums. From 1959/1960 to 1983 the series was illustrated by Solveig Muren Sanden. Later text writers have been Øyvind Dybwad and Johannes Farestveit. From 1983 Håkon Aasnes took over as illustrator.[1] The anniversary book Smørbukk 70 år was published in 2008.[3]
