The latest installment of Bamse features a story about an icehockey junior world championship in Quebec, Canada, and my second ever cover for the main magazine.

The antagonists of Susanne Adolfsson’s story are Bruno the grizzly, and Laban the racoon. The characters were designed by me.

The story revolves around hockey games, i.e. I had to squeeze lots and lots of little hockey players into the panels. Being an old fan of WATCHING hockey, I enjoyed trying to fill the story with as much authentic hockey action and poses as possible.
