Jan Lööf (born 1940 in Trollhättan) is a Swedish illustrator, author, comic creator, and jazz musician. Lööf studied at the Stockholm Art Academy in the early 1960s. From 1967 until 1973 he created his most famous comic strip ''Felix'', which soon gained popularity into many parts of the world.〔 〕 Mixing humor and adventure, ''Felix'' has sometimes been described as a more naivistic or underground style version of ''Tintin'', in terms of the drawing style, but in its themes and morale it is also somewhat leftist. Later, Lööf created other comics, such as ''Bellman'' (a humor strip about a Stockholm hobo) and ''Ville'' (1975–76), a "comedic adventure" about an unemployed Stockholm author, teaming up with Olof Palme and Carl XVI Gustaf to fight the bad guys. This was originally serialized in the Swedish periodical Vi.〔 In the early 1970s, Lööf participated as an actor in a few productions, among them the Swedish cult children's TV show ''Tårtan'' (The Cake, 1972) about three incompetent and filthy sailors-turned-bakers. His children's books are continually popular, both in Scandinavia and elsewhere. Among them are ''The Story of the Red Apple'' (Sagan om det röda äpplet, 1974) and ''Uncle Louie's Fantastic Sea Voyage'' (Morfar är sjörövare, 1966 – lit. Grandpa is a Pirate). Based on these books Lööf produced his own children's show, the animated ''Skrot-Nisse och Hans Vänner'' (Scrap-Nisse and his Friends), for Swedish National Television in 1985.〔 He has also illustrated children's books written by his friend and colleague Carl-Johan de Geer.〔 〕 ==Awards== Jan Lööf has received a number of awards. *2011: Astrid Lindgren Prize *2010: Selma Lagerlöf Prize *2009: "Urhunden"〔 *2005: Bokjuryn (:sv:Bokjuryn) *1985: Golden Antenna (:sv:Guldantennen) *1977: Elsa Beskow Plaque (:sv:Elsa Beskow-plaketten) *1976: 91:an Scholarship Award(:sv:91:an-stipendiet) *1974: Expressen's Heffalump (:sv:Expressens Heffalump) *1968: Adamson Award 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jan Lööf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
