De avonturen van Bruintje Beer

Mary Tourtel’s beloved Bruintje Beer—originally a British creation—found a second home in the Netherlands when Algemeen Handelsblad ran this Dutch-language series from 1968 to 1974. Spanning 23 issues, the strip was most frequently drawn by Tourtel herself, often signing as M. T., bringing her gentle, timeless art to a new generation of readers. It stands as a charming example of how a classic children’s comic character can cross borders while retaining its warm, simple appeal.
