Tom Poes en de Pas-kaart #[nn]

Marten Toonder's beloved white cat Tom Poes and the rotund, worried-looking Heer Bommel stand at the forest's edge alongside a large bear in a plaid jacket, all apparently confronted by a mysterious scene unfolding before them — a cloaked old figure gesturing toward a glowing sun while a cheerful swarm of winged cherubs and mischievous green elves tumble through the enchanted woodland. Dick Matena handles every aspect of this 2014 Dutch album, from script and pencils to inks, colors, and lettering, bringing a lush, warmly detailed visual world to the story of "De Pas-Kaart." Fans of the classic Toonder tradition will find Matena's affectionate rendering of these characters a genuine treat.
