Skippern #14/1954
"Diamantmysteriet" kicks off in a quiet Norwegian village where Obersten’s peculiar habit of carving hearts into trees takes a strange turn when the wood itself seems to hold secrets. Written and illustrated by Chic Young, this 1954 tale from Allers Forlag unfolds with a touch of whimsy and mystery, as the Obersten’s ritual leads him to an unexpected discovery in the river—and a surprising twist in the heart of the forest. Cover by Chic Young.
In "Tømmer-menn," Obersten’s morning ritual of carving hearts into trees takes a surprising turn when he discovers the forest’s new rival: a mysterious figure who’s been chiseling hearts into timber too—right under his nose. With a mix of playful rivalry and classic comic timing, the story unfolds as Obersten’s quiet woodland pastime suddenly becomes a battle of hearts, one sawdust-laden moment at a time.
