The Adventures of Ferd'nand

The Adventures of Ferd'nand, a wordless gag strip launched in 1955 and still running, follows the silent, round-headed everyman through gentle, universal humor. Published by Graphic Books, the series is most closely associated with Danish cartoonist Mik, whose clean line and expressive pantomime have defined the character for decades. Its quiet endurance as a single-issue, ongoing comic strip makes it a charming, understated fixture in the history of European cartooning.
