Pondus

It has been translated to several languages, including Danish, English, German, Finnish, French, Icelandic, Latin, Sami, Swedish and Esperanto.

Øverli initially developed a strip titled A-laget (A-team) in 1995, prior to leaving the magazine Pyton.

By the time the strip in its earliest form was first published in a small local newspaper Vest-Nytt of Sotra on 28 October 1995, it had taken the name Pondus.

[3] The strip runs daily in more than 80 Norwegian newspapers, and is syndicated to several international publications, most notably Swedish Dagens Nyheter, Danish Berlingske Tidende, and Icelandic Frettabladid.

In a simultaneous event, the character Pondus quit his job as a bus driver, and bought a pub.
