Rare Moomin

Just found this Moomin artwork. I've never seen it before, so I guess it's pretty rare? It was a loose supplement to an issue of Lajban (a Swedish paper for kids) in 1970. Guess most of these were cut up and played with back in the days, so I'm thankful that at least one kid ditn't bother to play with it. :-)  Signed by both Tove and Lars. Enjoy!

Robin Malone 1970

Have picked up a lot of Robin Malone dailies by Bob Lubbers lately. All from 1969 - 1970.
Just thought I should give those of you who never have seen the final RM adventure a taste of it. Enjoy!

The death of Robin Malone?

Fans of Bob Lubbers "Robin Malone" might be interested to know that the strip ended not in one but in two ways. One where Robin dies and one where Mike dies.

Don't know if the newspapers had an option of running the strip of their choice or if the death of Mike were something that just one paper made up. (That version was found HERE.)

Update: Check the comments for more info on this from Ger Apeldoorn!

Update: Well, what do you know... There's a third version of the final Robin Malone daily!

There's no doubt about the death of Robin here. Notice that this one is dated 3.14 while the Mike versions are dated 3.11. This one is signed "BL" while the other versions aren't signed at all.
Makes me even more curious about the first two versions.

This one was found in Glamour International #26. A great publication on Bob Lubbers, edited by Alberto Becattini.

NCS 1970

Bill Peckmann was digging through his files last week and found this poster from the National Cartoonist Society, dated 1970. So many, and many not so, familiar faces.
Can you find your favourite cartoonists?
Enjoy!
