The series premiered in 1940. Stopped in 1958.

In several countries there are supposed to live a group of folkloristic and naive people that is said to be more stupid than the nation's other inhabitants. In fact, they are the center of mockery although they really do not exist as simpletons. In Denmark they are called Molboer, and they come from a specific spot at the eastern side of the peninsula of Jutland.
Many tales have been told about these Molboers and most of them are known across the country and considered good, clean fun.

The gallery examples are all from Hansen's first book, in which he drew the old, wellknown stories, in which the characters changed all the time. In later editions Hansen wrote new material incorporating recurring characters such as Claus, Jeppe, Jochum, Jonas, and Rasmus.
