Catalogue information
Tom Poes en de Spilbig, een Bommel and Tom Poes appear in De Spaarpost, an irregularly published magazine of the Rijks Post Spaarbank in the period from June 1949 - November 1950. Including the announcement 8 uncolored strips. The year is 1949. The Netherlands is still resurrecting and recovering from the deep wounds left by the Second World War. The common man is not well off; there is poverty. The then government again announced austerity measures that would result in the much-discussed spending restriction. Thrift was the great virtue of the time. That is why savings banks propagate saving with advertising campaigns. To reach the youth, Toonder Studios is commissioned to produce the promotional Tom Poes comic strip De spilbig for the magazine De Spaarpost. The Spilbig can still be read as an entertaining, albeit dated comic strip.
