A forgotten Bob De Moor drawing from Ons Volkske

A few weeks ago I was able to trace back a few copies of Hop!, a French comics magazine.

Fee & Fonske or Mieleke & Dolf?

Between 1949 and 1951 Ons Volkske featured the adventures of Fee & Fonske under the name "De Fratsen van Fee en Fonske" (which would also appear as "De avonturen van Mieleke en Dolf" both in Kuifje Weekblad... and Ons Volkse), see also our article "Mieleke & Dolf / Bouboule & Noiraud make their entry in 1949". As you can see,

A house in De Kempen – undated drawing by Bob De Moor

During the Christmas period following Bob De Moor's death in 1992, his wife Jeanne De Belder sent out a Christmas Card with a drawing De Moor had made in the late 50ies / early 60ies. It's was Luc De Meulenaere who tipped me off on this particular card. While cruising through the archives of the family De Moor one drawing
