Finnish graphic artist Jaakko Seppälä created this masterpiece about a decade ago, simulating ten famous cartoonists drawing the others’ characters. Starting from the upper left and working down-and-right diagonally, we have:

  • Astérix, by Albert Uderzo (France)
  • Calvin, by Bill Watterson (USA)
  • Donald Duck, by Carl Barks (USA)
  • Captain Haddock, by Hergé (Belgique)
  • Batman, by Bill Finger & Bob Kane (USA)
  • Fingerpori, by Pertti Jarla (Finland)
  • Corto Maltese, by Hugo Pratt (Italy)
  • Moomin, by Tove Jansson (Sweden-Finland)
  • Garfield, by Jim Davis (USA)
  • Lucy Van Pelt, by Charles Schulz (USA)
