Hälge [julalbum] #33

Lars Mortimer's beloved Swedish humor strip gets its 2024 annual treatment in this charming 33rd volume of Hälge. The cover sets the comedic tone perfectly: a grumpy bear clutches a large rock while a blissfully oblivious moose snoozes against a birch tree, ski poles scattered at his feet — a scene that captures the strip's signature woodland slapstick in one glance. With cover art by Alán, Varning för björntjänst! ("Beware of Bear Favors!") promises the kind of good-natured, absurdist humor that has made Hälge a cherished fixture of Scandinavian comics.
