Jens R. Nilssen was a pioneer in Norwegian comics. He created the famous 'Smørbukk' character for the Norsk Barneblad in 1938, along with writer Andreas Haavoll. Haavoll was replaced by Øyvind Dybvad after only a couple of episodes. Nilssen worked for the magazine from 1906, starting with his creation of 'Juletre'. Other series Nilssen created were 'Haukepatruljen' (1930), 'Vangsgutane' (1940) and 'Tuss og Troll' (1944). He retired in the late 1950s, handing over his characters 'Smørbukk' and 'Tuss og Troll' to Solveig Muren Sanden.
