Mounir

Mounir is a comedic character in the Norwegian humor comic Kollektivet, where he lives alongside housemates Ronny, Tobben, Emma, Gry, and Magda. Created by Torbjørn Lien, he navigates everyday flatshare life in a lighthearted slice-of-life format.

Mounir made his entrance in the pages of Humoralbum #7/2001, brought to life by creator Torbjørn Lien in a debut that marks the start of a surprisingly enduring Modern Age run stretching all the way to 2022. Over more than two decades, he became a familiar face across the Norwegian humor comics landscape — most at home in Kollektivet and its seasonal specials, sharing panels with a lively cast that includes Ronny, Tobben, Emma, Gry, and Magda. With 72 catalogued appearances, a key-issue credit to his name, and a publishing home spanning both Bladkompaniet and Schibsted, Mounir is a quietly consistent presence in Scandinavian comics worth any collector's attention.
