Professor Tanke

A Norwegian newspaper comic strip that began in 1927 and continues to the present day, Professor Tanke was created and drawn by Ivar Mauritz-Hansen for Olaf Norlis forlag. The series follows the gentle, bumbling Professor Tanke through his daily life and scientific misadventures, often offering a quiet, humorous take on modern society. As one of Norway's longest-running comic strips, it holds a special place in the country's cultural history for its enduring charm and gentle wit. Despite its single-issue format, the strip's decades-long run has made it a beloved institution in Norwegian comics.
