Created in 1951 by Carla and Vilhelm Hansen, the Danish comic series Rasmus Klump follows the adventures of a bear cub and his animal friends. The characters travel the world on their boat, Mary, which they built together. Distinctively, the original strips utilize captions instead of traditional speech balloons, though a parallel version featuring speech balloons also exists. With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, the series has been translated into many languages and adapted into various animated productions over the decades. The creators also established an award to honor those who embody the virtues displayed in the comics. Beyond print, the character has appeared in television series and even an iPad application. Given the choice between reading text-heavy comics or those using speech bubbles, which format do you personally prefer for children's stories?
