Robert Storm Petersen (Sept. 19, 1882 - 1949), known as Storm P. was a Danish writer, cartoonist, painter and inventor, known for what in the Anglophone world is known as Rube Goldberg machines. He was exceptionally creative linguistically as well, and a truly beloved cultural figure in Denmark in the 1920s and 30s.
His cartoon characters, Peter & Ping (the latter a well-dressed penguin who communicates through placards with sometimes rude slogans), were created in 1922 and Storm P. drew and wrote them for 27 years, i.e. until his death. One of Ping’s slogans is “Højt Skum”, as in “Big Head” on a glass of beer. I like that.
this weekend me and my boyfriend attended a comicfestival called Art Bubble we have never heard of before. The only reason why we got interested was because Don Rosa was there all weekend signing books, posters ect. *3*!
My boyfriend got 3 of his Hall of Fame books signed today, after about an hour waiting in line. Which is probably a short amount of time compared to much bigger convensions in other countries @__@
Anyways not only that, Don Rosa had his own growing chili in a basket from his own home that fans could take with them! really cool guy ;3! of course we took about 4 different chilis hehe :3
I apologies for the bad quality, maybe one day we will learn to bring a proper camera with us;,,
I myself got an autograph from a Danish Cartoon drawing named Peter Madsen. Hes very famous for his Valhalla Cartoon series! I got vol. 2 signed and he drew a character for me today! Odins Wife Frigg. In vol. 1 I have Odin drawned ;3
Other than that, I got a childrens book vol. 2 signet only: Troldeliv and bought some old comics along with a Peter Madsen Fairy tail 2016 Calender!
The calender:
---
3 Viking comics for inspiration. Whitetooth the wolfdog (A comic I used to read when I was Little) and a comic I also got because I love the artstyle :3
----
I bought Troldeliv - bedste venner together with the calender.
Only the red book on the right I got signed today and had a drawing drawn of Frigg :)
The blue book on the left I got signed and a drawing of Odin earlier last year at a different comic convention !
I hope I one day can get him to expand the odin drawing with his two crows Hugin and Munin! That would be soo damn cool!!

My boyfriend also recorded Peter Madsen drawing Frigg for me! (While I look in his life drawing files)
