''Pyton'' was a Norwegian comic book series which was produced by the company Gevion, and afterwards Bladkompaniet, between the years 1986 until 1996. An anthology magazine with no major main character, its style of humor focused mostly on satiric and toilet humour, including sexual, toilet, and farting jokes. The name is Norwegian for python, a term which in Scandinavia also have gained a slang adjective meaning of "disgusting" or "sick". The magazine also adopted a python snake as mascot (after discarding their original polar bear), who occasionally featured in his own comics. The comic reached its peak around 1990 when it sold around 35,000 copies per month. ''The Essential Guide to World Comics'' by Tim Pilcher and Brad Brooks says that the anthology and its sister series ''MegaPyton'' had "short-lived but important ''MAD-''style humour anthologies with an underground comix edge."〔Pilcher, Tim and Brad Brooks. (Foreword: Dave Gibbons). ''The Essential Guide to World Comics''. ''Collins and Brown''. 2005. 260.〕 The magazine's editor was Dag Kolstad, who prior had been the editor for Norsk MAD, the Norwegian edition of MAD Magazine. Kolstad was also a writer for many of the series (under the pen name Dick Kolby), and was also featured in the actual series as the sadistic and overweight character ''Redaktøren'' (''The Editor''). Another prominent writer was Rolf Håndstad (pen name: Rhesus Minus, Balle Brock). Some of ''Pytons most prominent artists were Tommy Sydsæter, Bjørn Ousland, Arild Midthun (pen name: Arnold Milten), Kristian B. Walters and Frode Øverli who a few years later created the successful and popular comic strip ''Pondus''. Martin Kellerman, who later went on to create Rocky, also made a few contributions to Pyton in the mid-1990s. In 2009, the old magazine had gained a large nostalgic appeal, and it was decided to launch the massive collector box MegaPyton (not to be confused with the Swedish magazine Mega-Pyton, see below), featuring classics from the magazine collected in hardcover books. == Recurring features == The monthly publication had no constant features, nevertheless several new features were created almost monthly. some of the most popular features were: * Dølle Døck, created by Dick Kolby and Tommy Sydsæter * Rhesus Minus og Tommy Tusj, created by Rolf Håndstad and Tommy Sydsæter * Pervo-Kris, created by Kristian B.Walters * Hellitern og Halvlitern, created by Bjørn Ousland * Lucky Duck, created by Bjørn Ousland * Bottolf Nerd, created by Arnold Milten * Deep Shit Junkies, created by Frode Øverli * Wunder-Bjarne, created by Tom Ostad * Førerhunden Adolf, created by Erik Nordgård * Skateboard-Fantomet, created by Erik Nordgård 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「Pyton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
