Tobben

Tobben is a resident of Kollektivet, a Norwegian humor comic strip series centered on shared-living ensemble comedy. Created by Torbjørn Lien, Tobben navigates housemate life alongside a colorful cast including Ronny, Mounir, Ina-Stina, Gry, and Emma.

Tobben made their comics debut in 2001, brought to life by creator Torbjørn Lien in the pages of Humoralbum, and has been a fixture of Norwegian humor comics for two full decades. A Modern Age character through and through, Tobben's natural home is Kollektivet — a series whose very title evokes the shared-living, ensemble comedy world Tobben inhabits alongside a lively cast including Ronny, Mounir, Ina-Stina, Gry, and Emma. With 39 catalog appearances spread across Kollektivet, its festive Julealbum specials, and Larsons Gale Verden sommerspesial, plus one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Tobben is a charming slice of Scandinavian comic culture well worth seeking out for fans of warm, character-driven humor comics.
