In contrast to many full-page drawings accompaying the stories in Tom Poes magazine, this copy forms a whole, in which the open space of the spotlight could be occupied by text. *Drawing from the heyday of the Toonder studios. Promising talents suchs as Wim Lensen, Piet Wijn, Ben van Voorn and Ben van 't Klooster formed the axis of this studio that produces animated cartoons, ongoing series and its own weekly. The drawings accompying the regular stories, like this one, are often unsigned.
