Comics
Storm P is also well known in Denmark as the author of a number of comics (titles in Danish):
- De tre små mænd og nummermanden (The three little Men and the Number Man) 1913-1923 is a play with situations: three little men making mad pranks leading to success or failure, all accompanied by an even smaller man who delivers the numbers of the strip.
- En underlig Mand ("A strange Man") from the 1930s was an absurd strip cartoon about a man who reacts illogically and solves problems in an unexpected way.
- Peter og Ping ("Peter and Ping"), 1922-1949 was his greatest success, a comic strip about a small citizen and his friend (or adopted son) Ping, a speaking penguin. Their experiences in Copenhagen, spiced by Ping’s absurd expressions and jokes, were extremely popular and even led to the foundation of a Ping Club for children. It also caused some international attention and was sold to Great Britain.
- Dagens flue ("The Daily Fly") that started in 1939 were drawings illustrating humorous philosophical jokes which often contained a deeper meaning.
