Comments: Storm P. was widely known for his very precise and thoughtful comments to everyday life often seen through the eyes of society's lower ranks. His countless vagabond cartoons and written monologs are filled with both disarming humour and appealing craziness.

 

 

MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1930. Stopped in 1949 following the creator's death.

En Underlig Mand (A Peculiar Man) is a pantomime newspaper strip containing 4 panels about a nameless and expressionless man who reacts absurdly to logical events by solving the problems in unexpected ways. The humourous sequences alternate between being clever, subtle, or grotesque.
