C. & V. Hansen is the name used by the Danish couple Carla and Vilhelm Hansen to sign theirRasmus Klump comics (in English known asBruin).
Vilhelm Hansen (May 6, 1900 – December 23, 1992) and Carla Hansen (September 19, 1906 – December 6, 2001) were an artistic couple. He was a trainedlithographist, while she was a writer. Vilhelm worked mainly as an advertising artist between the two World Wars, and only started making comics and illustrating the tales written by Carla in the 1940s.
Their collaborative comicRasmus Klump, about the adventures of a bear, a pelican, a penguin, and some other animals, debuted in Denmark on November 17, 1951, as a dailycomic strip. It soon became one of the most popular European children comics, being translated and distributed into many languages and countries, mainly by the publishing housesCarlsen Comics andCasterman. While they no longer wrote or drew the stories after 1965, it was their names that stayed on the albums.
