Långben

Långben is the Swedish localization of Goofy, Disney's beloved, good-natured anthropomorphic dog known for his clumsy yet endearing personality. The character debuted in Swedish comics publication Kalle Anka & C:o in 1948, published by Hemmets Journal.

Långben made their comics debut in 1948 — right in the heart of the Golden Age — launching a run that would stretch across an impressive five decades in the Swedish market under Hemmets Journal. Brought to life by Axel Norbeck and Paul Murry in the pages of Kalle Anka & C:o, this character became a familiar presence alongside beloved company like Farbror Joakim, Kajsa Anka, and the mischievous trio of Knatte, Fnatte, and Tjatte. With 56 catalogued appearances, three of them recognized as collector-significant key issues, and a publishing history running all the way to 1999, Långben is a quietly enduring figure in Scandinavian comics — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector who digs into the rich, distinct world of Nordic Disney comics publishing.
