The Belgian Comic Strip Center is proud to present a new permanent exhibition: The Invention of Comic Strips. The exhibition spans the history of the world and civilisations and tries to explain how what we call "comic strips" came about. We wish you a pleasant discovery of this exciting part of history!
The comic strip writer, illustrator and author Marten Toonder has enchanted several generations of readers with his Panda and Tom Puss series published in the daily press in many countries. The exhibition at the Belgian Comic Strip Center marks the start of a year of international celebration of the work of this 20th century storyteller, born in Rotterdam in 1912, whose bust is prominently placed in the Dutch Museum of Literature in The Hague, Holland.
It is to the credit of Romanian comic strip artists that they have been able to produce such original work of great talent – the fruit of a long inheritance – in the trials and tribulations of a century during which their society has suffered particularly.
