Details

In December 1977, the Noordbrabants Museum held an exhibition with original drawings by Marten Toonder. This poster was published on that occasion. The exhibition took place in connection with the publication of the 10,000th Tom Poes comic in the newspapers. The exhibition took place from December 21, 1977 to January 15, 1978 in ´s-Herthogenbosch. This poster is printed on soft tone glossy white paper, black / white with blue spot color, unprinted on the back, Writer-draftsman Marten Toonder celebrated the ten thousandth comic by Tom Poes and Ollie B. Bommel in the newspaper (the first Tom Poes comic appeared in March 1941). This poster was issued on the occasion of this. Moreover, when the comic was published, an exhibition was held in the Print Room of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. This ten thousandth day strip actually had the number 8916; it was the last strip of "Heer Bommel en de kikkerde frost", but the publisher had added the issues that had appeared in De Telegraaf during the war years. Then they arrived at number 9998. With a creative text explanation, employee Joost made number 10,000 plausible. The festivities took place on Wednesday September 14, 1977 in Rotterdam. In a closed circle in the NRC building, the ten thousandth Bommel strip was handed over to Toonder by Joop Lücker - in his capacity as director of the today's news agency. Then there was a guest lecture in the main building of the Erasmus University, dedicated to 'Heer Bommel and the economy', followed by an answer from Marten. The opening of an exhibition dedicated to Bommel and Tom Poes in the Print Room of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, followed by a reception, concluded the commemoration.
