Ferd'nand is the classic "silent" comic strip, starring a wide-eyed cherubic mime, his wife, son and dog. From circus performer to bank cashier to orchestra conductor, Ferd'nand has spent almost six decades as the pantomiming protagonist of middle class life. A timeless classic with universal appeal, Ferd'nand is one of the 10 longest-running comic strips still being drawn. Ferd'nand was originally created in 1937 by Danish film animator Henning Dahl Mikkelsen for Presse-Illustrations-Bureau (PIB) in Copenhagen.
