Robbedoes-almanak

A short-lived, two-issue almanac published by Dupuis during the mid-1940s, Robbedoes-almanak was a Dutch-language annual companion to the flagship Spirou magazine, produced during the German occupation of Belgium. Most frequently drawn by the prolific Jijé, these slim volumes offered a mix of seasonal stories and character vignettes, serving as a wartime bridge for Francophone readers in Flemish markets. Though brief in its run, the almanac stands as a modest but tangible artifact of how Belgian comics maintained cultural continuity under difficult circumstances.
