In the mid-1980s, the Norwegian children’s magazine Norsk Barneblad published a three-issue series, Smørbukk den eldre, focusing on the earlier adventures of the beloved folk-trickster Smørbukk. Writers Johannes Farestveit and Andreas Haavoll, alongside artists Jens R. Nilssen and Solveig Muren Sanden, brought a classic, warmly nostalgic feel to these short tales. Though brief, the series offered a deeper look into the character’s roots, connecting longtime readers with a cherished piece of Norwegian comic heritage.
