The new comic featuring a Donald Duck story was supposed to be 2.5x3.5cm, but the final measuring showed 2.56x3.52cm. Still it barely made it and set a new record. Some criteria were set; the comic had to be readable and it had to have a print run of at least 1000 (I think the print run was exactly 1000)

The event happened in the pop-up store in Oslo, Norway that I showed some photos from in my last post. Hosting the event was the editor for the weekly Donald comic with a representative from the Norwegian Metrology Service ("Justervesenet") doing the measurement.
The measuring was done digitally by taking a photo of the comic and using software on a computer to find the dimensions.
After the small event the comic officially got on sale in the store and you could also get it signed by the writer if you wanted.

What's the story printed in it, may I ask?
ReplyDelete"Tom Thumb in The Rainbow", created for Samoma (Netherlands). It's inpired by the Norwegian folktale Tommeliten and other stories - we also have a leprechaun with a gold pot at the end of a rainbow in it.
DeleteHi, I liked the last picture in this post a lot, and wondered if you had a picture of all the smallest in-betweens. Do you happen to have a picture of them together? Going from the regular comic size down to Tommeliten McDuck?
ReplyDeleteHi. I don't have any pictures like that ready, but could probably make one. Maybe also with the largest one I own (The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Artist's Edition) and several in-between sizes down to the smallest one. It will have to wait a little bit though as I'm currently living most of the year away from my collection.
