Cartoon: Balthazar before and after

Predrag at DVDlab sent me a couple of images from their restoration of the cartoon Professor Bathazar (1969-1971).

Quite a difference isn't it? They hope to finish all the episodes this spring. However these are so far only for the Italian/Spanish versions. Let's hope not for long!

Illustration: Människornas Land

Inuit is said to have many meanings - one of them being The Land of Man (Människornas Land). I happened to stumble upon this charming children's book illustrated by the wonderful Dane Ingrid Vang Nyman (1916-1959). She will always be known as the first illustrator of the Pippi Longstocking stories, but here is something else. It's a story about the Inuit children Nuka and Naja who gets lost and has to make ways to survive in nature. One of the ways is collecting eggs as you'll see below. A few more pictures to see here.

Vintage Food: Hakon's Cook Book

How about some vintage food? Some Swedish vintage food? OK, but if I mention the recipes were composed (so they say) by the Swedish king's chef monsieur Paul Arbin! Any better? The color images from this cook book are really great and they are here: Hakons kokbok

And for no extra cost here's a recipe for veal kidney canapé (click for larger):






Oh. Sorry, didn't I tell you it was in Swedish?! Heck! Use one of those fancy-schmanzy online translator things! There will be more of these recipes later on so get used to it!! Ya lazy bum!

Commercial: Postbanken


This is a Swedish commercial, from the early to mid 90s, made for a bank called Postbanken, but you probably got that. The brilliant actor we are seeing is Ernst-Hugo Järegård (1928-1998).
