Zbigniew Lengren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zbigniew Lengren (1919—2003), was a Polish cartoonist, caricaturist, and illustrator, of Swedish descent. He was awarded the "Order of Smile" amongst other, numerous awards. His most famous creation is Professor Filutek, an absent-minded character who appeared once a week on the last page of Przekrój magazine for over 50 years, a record run in Polish comics. Lengren was also a writer, especially of poems for children.
In 1947, whilst a Fine Arts student of the Nicolaus Copernicus University, he won a competition to design the Super Ex Libris for the University Library. The design is still in use today.
