This is an unpublished self-promotional humorous children’s book and science fiction illustration featuring Bombo the Bear, Chester the Butler and their time travelling friends.

In the 1980s I wrote and illustrated several episodes of ‘Idi and Bombo’ about Bombo the Bear and Idi the bird for Swiss Television DRS (Fernsehen DRS). Later I had a regular full page color ‘Bombo’ comic in the Sonntagsblick Newspaper.

It was rendered in pen and ink, colored pencils and watercolors. (only the sky gradient is digitally created).

From the Marsden Archive:

This golf cartoon was originally in color, this is the only reproduction I still have.

It was created using a pen and ink and gouache on D’Arches watercolor paper.

It depicts a bunch of highly distrustful birds who have ganged up on a poor golfer somewhere in Scotland. Their suspicion seems to be that it is not a golf ball at all but rather an egg he might be playing with.

It was published in the Swiss Nebelspalter magazine in 1991 and was exhibited at the

4th International Cartoon Biennale in Davos, Switzerland
(22. July - 22. August 1992 Kongresszentrum Davos)

The original was purchased at the Cartoon Biennale Davos by well-known Swiss media personality, actor, comedian, writer, producer Hansjörg Bahl and is in his personal collection.
