Pondus Norway Cup Spesial!

A one-shot special from Bladkompaniet / Schibsted, Pondus Norway Cup Spesial! (2000) ties the beloved Norwegian newspaper strip Pondus to the country’s massive annual youth football tournament, the Norway Cup. This single issue is a lighthearted, sports-themed detour for the series, capturing the chaotic, beer-and-football-obsessed humor that creator Frode Øverli made iconic in the pages of Pondus. Though a brief standalone, it’s a fun artifact of how the strip’s everyday slapstick could stretch into a national event.
