Smörbukk [Smørbukk] #2009

In "Det gamle fyrtårnet," Smørbukk finds himself on an unexpected journey after winning a week-long holiday at Sola Strandhotell in a hot air balloon contest—only to lose his ticket and end up stranded in a tiny Sørland village. Written by Johannes Farestveit and brought to life with expressive art by Jens Hasselberg Nilssen and Jens R. Nilssen, this 2009 issue captures the quiet charm and gentle absurdity of a comic that’s both whimsical and grounded. The cover by Håkon Aasnes perfectly frames the story’s blend of seaside wonder and rural surprise.
