Smörbukk [Smørbukk] #1961

In "Tømmerhytta," Smørbukk finds himself on an unexpected helicopter ride when his timber cabin is moved to the mountains—only for the flight to end in a crash on the open plateau. Stranded and relying on a rope to signal for help, he witnesses a jerv stalking a sheep, setting the stage for a tense, isolated adventure. Written by Johannes Farestveit and illustrated with quiet precision by Solveig Muren Sanden—both on pencils and inks—this 1961 Norsk Barneblad issue captures a moment of rugged Norwegian wilderness, with the cover by Sanden perfectly framing the story’s stark, snowy isolation.
