Catalogue information
Original illustration by Carol Voges for the children's book "Jeroen and the hunt for the echo" by Daan Zonderland, published as Prima Juniores 12. Mention "page 279" may be of a later date, because the original pocket only has 208 pages. Text quote: Alexander de Beer and his friends hesitantly approached to see their guest. It was a strange creature made up of two round balls, one for the head and one for the body. In the large round head, two large blue eyes shone with satisfaction, and a wide mouth full of gold teeth stretched from ear to ear. And not a single hair could be seen on the entire shiny head. From behind he bore two golden wings and on either side protruded from the convex hull two arms, the right end of which ended in a golden fork and the left in a golden spoon. The comet had no legs, at least there was nothing to be seen. "Don't you have any legs at all?" Figuring asked, unable to believe his eyes. "No," said the comet. "I have no hair and no legs. I am just hungry. Who called me to eat?"
