Husbjørn (webcomic)

Husbjørn (roughly translates to "house bear" in English) is a Danish gag-a-day webcomic by Tom Sommer and Arnold Börje Forsberg. The comic is set in small town of Denmark. It features a brown teddy bear with a vest named Husbjørn, and his mansion friends enjoying their stay as well as doing weird things every day. Cremet, Husbjørn's love interest, is also one of the major characters of this webcomic.

The comic launched on 3 December 2001 on Tom Sommer's website.

Publication history
Prior to creating Husbjørn, Tom claimed that he used to play with stuffed animals after he came home from school with his friend Arnold, always putting on skits with them. The title character was actually based on his teddy bear with a vest that he play with during his childhood.

When he was 13, he started doodling his teddy bear on scratch paper which later became the titular protagonist Husbjørn. Then took a white sheet of paper and drew a comic strip featuring him and a pink bear that would later become Cremet, in which was later uploaded online the following year.

Tom Sommer officially opened his website on September 2001 originally as a blog website, as well as the webcomic officially launching on 3 December 2001.
