Selma Olsson

Selma Olsson is a supporting character in the Swedish comic strip Lilla Fridolf, a slice-of-life comedy series. She belongs to a ensemble of everyday Scandinavian characters including Lillen, Fabian, and the Palm family.

Selma Olsson has been a fixture of Scandinavian comics charm since her Silver Age debut in 1958, when creator Torsten Bjarre introduced her in the pages of Lilla Fridolf [julalbum]. Over an remarkable 66-year run through 2024, she's kept lively company with the likes of Lillen, Fabian, Maggan Palm, Valdemar Palm, and Bettan Gripkloo — a cast that gives her world a cozy, character-rich warmth. With 68 catalog appearances and a key issue to her name, Selma is a testament to the enduring appeal of Semic's beloved holiday comic tradition, the kind of recurring presence that generations of readers have welcomed back year after year.
