Marten Toonder

O.B. Bommel 'Tom Poes en Het vergeetboekje'(1976)

This story is part of the 'Bommelsaga'. It is written and drawn by Marten Toonder.

The theme of this comic is the Magic of forgetting.

A magician gives the people opportunity to erase certain memories.

This book inspired Charlie Kaufman for the film 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'( 2004).

The message is the same. Even unhappy memories are important for actions in the future, you learn what to do and what not.

If you forget the wrong decisions you made, you will make them again.
