Cubitus

Luc Dupanloup, called Dupa, is the author of this cartoon mural. The main character? Cubitus, the 'animal', more accurately a big, fat dog. Created in 1968, Cubitus is amongst the very famous cartoon characters.

After years of appearances in cartoon books, Cubitus also became the main character of a Japanese show (104 episodes) and in 1994, the image of a Belgian stamp. The cartoon mural in the photo was inaugurated at the end of 1994 showing Cubitus in the place of Manneken Pis.

Other cartoon related posts on Brussels Daily Photo, which I know many of you liked, were:

Bien sur, j'adore Cubitus!!!

I can hardly imagine him being the hero of a Japanese series though...
