Scribbly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scribbly was a Dutch comic strip, created by Jean-Paul Arends. It ran daily in the Dutch edition of the Metro free newspaper from 1999 to 2010.[1] Seven albums have been published containing the daily strips. The comic is known for its weird cast, and its tendency for parodying well-known films, books and famous people.
