Billy julehefte

From 1970 onward, Hjemmet/Egmont’s Billy julehefte has delivered annual Christmas-themed adventures starring the beloved comic-strip soldier Beetle Bailey, with the series’ long run—spanning 56 issues—anchored by the consistent creative contributions of Mort Walker (the strip’s original creator) alongside Norwegian talents John Berge and Knut Eide, with Greg Walker also among the most frequent artists. This festive spin-off matters as a durable, cross-cultural holiday tradition, bringing Walker’s classic humor to a Scandinavian audience while showcasing the collaborative work of local cartoonists.
