it is a very popular comic and has been around 1955 and is still going strong with a couple of comics coming out every year ( i just read one yesterday
)this is the story: the main character is an 11 year old boy named Jommeke and he gets a pet parrot as a present. his name is Flip, he comes from the amazons i believe and is if i remember correctly wild caught.
he is super smart and super friendly and likes the ladies... he always wants to marry the pretty girls in the comics and flirts with them. Flip will only bite the bad guys in the comics and he speaks fluent dutch (yes, he talks like a normal person and makes jokes and is a smartass
)when Jommeke goes on adventures he will always have his loyal friend with him and Flip is often the hero of the day. they also make him little outfits on these adventures like when they go to the artics he will have a warm winterjacket and snowboats... when they go to the beach he will wear swimshorts and sunglasses....
i wonder if these comics have ever made someone buy a parrot?? here is a picture:
do you know any other comic books with parrots in them?
