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.
