Marten Toonder (May 2, 1912 – July 27, 2005) was a Dutch comic creator, born in Rotterdam. He was probably the most successful comic artist in the Netherlands and had a great influence in the Dutch language by introducing new words and expressions. [1][2]

Contents

Tom Puss/Oliver B. Bumble series

His most famous comic series were the Tom Puss (Tom Poes in Dutch) and Oliver B. Bumble (Olivier B. Bommel in Dutch) series that appeared in a Dutch newspaper from 1941-1986. It has a very characteristic format. Every day there were three drawings and an accompanying text (about a book-page long). It started out as a children's cartoon, but gradually became more relevant to adults. Nowadays his texts are sometimes considered literature and Marten Toonder received several literary prizes for them. He invented many new words and expressions and some of those are now widely used in the Dutch language, or referred to as Prlwytzkofsky language. Because of his specific writing style, so far, it has been impossible to translate adequately. His drawing style is very detailed and might be compared to Pogo, with more room for background drawings, since there are no text 'balloons' in the drawings.

Personal details

Toonder was born in Rotterdam on May 2, 1912. He lived in Ireland from 1965[3] until the early 1990s. His first wife was Phiny Dick,[4] his second composer Tera de Marez Oyens.[5] Together with his brother, author Jan Gerhard Toonder, he assisted his father, (Captain) Marten Toonder Sr., a seaman born in the Dutch northern province Groningen, to write a book[6] about his life, in which Toonder Sr. describes many details about the ending era of professional cargo sailing, the Rotterdam Lloyd (Line to East Indies), the Holland America Line and about pre-war Rotterdam. According to his family, Marten Toonder died in his sleep on July 27, 2005.[7]
