Dear reader (es),

A few years ago an elderly gentleman (81) asked me to search for a comic strip featuring a certain Pat Onnozel. He had previously read it in a newspaper in the north of the country. I didn't know who he meant and I searched but not found. Coincidentally, last week I found a small photo on Catawiki of a key ring not for sale with an image of a Pat O'nozel who was a character in the comic Bommel and Tom Poes. That is, if I understood correctly. I would like to get hold of a few books for this older gentleman (now 84), but I am not an expert. Who can tell me who Pat O'nozel was (is) and if there are any books in which he appears. It is his birthday on November 8th and I would like to give him a nice gift.

Kind regards, Tom Bielsma, Hoofddorp.

Thomas \ Tom,

Pat O'nozel is indeed a cartoon character of Marten Toonder, but not from Bommel and Tom Poes. It is a minor character from the comic Panda. Pat O'Nozel is a detective who appears in several stories.

Panda has made both subtitle strips (text below the pictures) and balloon strips (text in the pictures). The now just under 85-year-old gentleman has undoubtedly read the subtext strips in his newspaper.

If you're looking for affordable versions of those stories, it's probably best to browse the Skarabee pockets. Panda can be found here (linkje ) Choose from the album series (left on the page) the Skarabee Pockets .

I just don't know by heart which stories Pat does and does not play in, but a good salesperson will undoubtedly want and be able to help you with that.

success

edit: Another not too expensive booklet in which Pat O'Nozel certainly plays a part (it's even on the cover!) is the Wolters-Noordhoff edition of "Panda - The mysterious glass of water". That booklet can be found under CW 25302

Following Pegag's answer, I searched and found the booklet where Pat O'Nozel is even on the front page.

Thank you Pegag.

I bought this booklet from a collector and it is ready to slip into the letterbox of my older acquaintance on the correct date. Of course I am still not an expert and I wonder if I can check somewhere else in which episode Pat O'Nozel appears. Does anyone know where I can do that or who already knows?

Sincerely,

Tom Bielsma.
