Hartebeertje

A cozy little corner of Dutch comics history, Hartebeertje made their debut in Troetelbeertjes #1 in 1986, brought to life by creator Howie Post for Juniorpress during the Copper Age. Sharing those cheerful pages with the likes of Slaapbeertje and Lachbeertje, this character was part of a warm, child-friendly world that brightened Dutch bookshelves for a brief but sweet run through 1988. With only three catalog appearances, Hartebeertje is a charming rarity — a little piece of nostalgic Benelux comics culture worth a fond look for collectors who treasure the softer, more whimsical side of the era.
