Tom Puss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tom Puss (Tom Poes in Dutch language) is a fictional anthropomorphic cat and one of the two main characters, the other being Oliver B. Bumble (Olivier B. Bommel in Dutch), of an originally Dutch series of comic books bearing the name of either one main characters in their name, written by Marten Toonder.

Although every page of this book is accompanied by three comic drawings, the stories are considered by some to be literature. Later on, Tom Puss was turned into a comics series in a stricter sense.

His original Dutch name Tom Poes, is a word play on the Dutch pastry tompouce, which sounds the same but for a difference in stress.
