PLANCKTON

PLANCKTON by the late, great Per Lygum, from Denmark. These clippings are from the mid 1970s, when this high weirdness was published in the Dutch catholic(!) broadcast's tv-guide. I only have these because my paternal grandparents had saved them. Otherwise, this witty and bizarre comic has taken a deep dive into obscurity. If anyone has some other instalments, please let me know. Dutch is the only language i know them to have been published in, so bear with me for not translating them. In any case, the dialogue is hilariously polite as these creatures usually end up devouring each other -or at least inflicting serious damage.

    Looks incredible! Maybe you know this one "Les dessous de Terminal Beach" from Jampur Fraize, it's kind of plancton's love adventures ( http://www.bedetheque.com/media/Planches/dessousterminalbeach_24112002.jpg

    I knew Jampur Fraize, but not this stuff (which looks really nice). :-)

    Wow!, these one-pagers are work of a genius! Are you sure they're not collected into a book somewhere, like in Denmark? If not, it's a crying shame..'cuz they absolutely should be.

    When comics are so beautiful as these i could give a rat's ass about understanding the text.
