Details

Blue edition with dust jacket Marten Toonder's dream came true when in 1983 Tom Poes and Bommel got the lead role in the film "Als you understand what I mean". After this full-length film, a plan was made in 1984 for a second film: "Het Kukel". Marten Toonder was not completely satisfied with "If you know what I mean" and that is why it had to be better, bigger. Without Rob Houwer, that much was certain. "Tom Poes en het Kukel" seemed to Marten Toonder to be the best story to film and so this old story was edited by Marten Toonder and his studio employees in 1984 into a "treatment", a ready-made, 144-page script that was completely finished. to film. It was going to be a mega project and so internal involvement was widely requested. It was desirable that employees of the Marten Toonder Studios stay informed and sometimes also contribute ideas. That is why a booklet was made of the result for the "normal" studio employees (edition of 25 copies, ring binder, soft cover). As it was going to be a rather tough project financially, it was necessary to raise capital from outside. For these potential investors, a blue deluxe bound edition (presentation) was made in an edition of 15 roman numbered copies (some unnumbered copies are also known). This beautiful blue deluxe edition was given to the investors. Especially for the management and prominent artists of Marten Toonder Studio's involved in the "Kukel project", a bound wine red (with gold print) V.I.P. edition (a "treatment review"). It turned out to be a beautiful book and each book was specially made in the name of the recipient. It was the intention that the recipient would "review" this treatment and eventually provide suggestions and comments about the book ("review"). Only 17 specially named and numbered copies were made. Two copies of this brown-red edition were made of No. 1 (for Marten Toonder) (reportedly for his wife Phiny Dick) It was intended that, in addition to the film, a book would also be published. This brown-red edition was the first step towards that. Marten Toonder was not at all pleased with the design of the "Bommelfilmboek", which was published two years earlier. That should now be very different`; Marten Toonder himself argued (in case of the actual publication of the book) for a bound edition with dust jacket. That is why the copies were provided with a dust jacket for the most important stakeholders and policy-making employees. There should also have been a review (if the Kukel project was continued) The nrs. 1 (2x), 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 were thus provided with a dust jacket (edition D) In all probability for the same reason as mentioned above, 7 numbered copies of the deluxe blue edition with dust jacket were also made, which should also have been reviewed in / on. These 7 luxury blue copies with dust jacket are numbered but not registered by name. So a total of five editions were made of Tom Poes and het Kukel: A) FOR THE "ORDINARY" EMPLOYEES TOWER STUDIOS: black low-binding employee edition (soft cover) in an edition of 25 copies. B) FOR POSSIBLE INVESTORS: luxury blue bound and Roman numbered edition in an edition of 15 copies (some unnumbered copies are also known) C) FOR PARTIES DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT: luxury wine red bound and numbered V.I.P. edition in an edition of 17 numbered and specially personalized copies, as well as a few unnumbered copies (so also without name) D) 7 personalized copies (nrs. 1 (2x), 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) of the luxury wine red bound and numbered V.I.P. edition with dust jacket. E) 7 numbered (1/7 to 7/7) copies of the deluxe blue bound edition with a dust jacket. Ultimately, the whole "Kukel" project fell through. Unfortunately, they could not manage financially.
