Larsons Gale Verden sommerspesial

From 2004 to 2009, Bladkompaniet/Schibsted released six summer-special issues of Larsons Gale Verden sommerspesial, a Norwegian compilation series that gathered Gary Larson's iconic single-panel cartoons alongside original strips by local talent Torbjørn Lien. While Larson’s surreal, offbeat humor formed the core, Lien contributed recurring characters like Mounir, Ronny, and Tobben, giving the series a distinct Nordic flavor. This blend made it a warm, seasonal treat for fans of both international and homegrown comic absurdity.
