Globi #76

Switzerland's beloved blue parrot-character Globi ventures into the Arctic in this 2008 Orell Füssli album, Globi und der Polarforscher. The cover by Heiri Schmid places Globi — dressed in a bright yellow jacket, checkered trousers, and blue boots — on an icy shoreline, wielding a long pole amid drifting ice floes where a polar bear and her cub navigate the frigid waters; a geodesic research dome is visible on the snowy horizon behind them. It's a warmly illustrated, adventure-packed scene that captures Globi's signature charm against a strikingly frosty backdrop.
