Catalogue information
In 1983 there was good news for the many Bommel fans. On February 3, 1983 the full-length cartoon "If you understand what I mean" premiered and "Het Bommelfilmboek" appeared simultaneously. In order to make the film a success, the journal was extensively informed at the beginning of 1983 by means of a press kit that could be used without restriction in publications. Afterwards, the texts, photos and drawings from that press folder can be read and viewed extensively in newspapers and magazines. The press kit contains: 1) A letter for a "Dear Editor" announcing the premiere and an appendix with 12 pages of information. The editors are asked to give extensive attention to "this unique cartoon". 2) A sheet with 17 prints by Bommel in different poses and a sheet with 14 prints by Tom Poes in different poses. 3) A classic print of Bommel sucking his pipe enough. 4) Six photos (stills) of 8x13 cm of scenes from the film. The press kits probably contained (partly) different photos. 5) Photos of the makers of the film, namely Marten Toonder and producer Rob Houwer. 6) Overview of the theaters where the film would be screened.
