History
In 1927, Elov Persson sent in his draft for a new comic strip to the publisher Åhlén & Åkerlunds. Persson, who had previously worked on the comic strip Kaspersson in the magazine Smålänningen, wanted to be able to support himself on his comic strips. He hoped that his bald character with a long nose (later named Kronblom) would be appreciated by Åhlén & Åkerlunds, and the first Kronblom strip was published in the weekly magazine Allt för Alla on July 17, 1927 [1] in Sweden.
The strip became an instant success, and in 1932 it moved to the Swedish magazine Året Runt . In 1987, it moved to another Swedish magazine, Allers, where it is still published. The strip can also be found in the Swedish comic book 91:an, which is published biweekly.
A Christmas album of Kronblom has been published in Sweden every year since 1930, that contains all Kronblom comic strips published that same year in Allers and 91:an.
Elov's son, Gunnar Persson took over the comic strip in 1968 when his father died. [2] In 2006, Gunnar's son, Jonas Persson, started drawing the comic strip together with his father.
A weekly Kronblom comics magazine was created in 1997, but was canceled after four issues due to poor sales. [1]
Kronblom has been the mascot of the Swedish association football team Örebro SK since 1987. [1]
