'''Paulus de Boskabouter''' was a Dutch comic strip, drawn by Jean Dulieu (pseudonym of Jan van Oort), from 1946 to 1984. As with most Dutch comic strip series from the mid 20th century it was published without text balloons. The text could be read below the images.
The series tell the adventures of a wood gnome, Paulus, who lives in the forest and has frequent interactions with his animal friends Oehoeboeroe the owl, Salomo the raven and Gregorius the badger. His ArchEnemy is Eucalypta the witch, who has a sidekick baby chick named Krakras.
The series were very popular with children and became a CashCowFranchise spawning both books, a radio show and a TV puppet series. Most impressive of all is that Dulieu almost [[OneManBand did everything himself]]: the comics, the stories, even the voices and puppets for the radio and TV series.
''Paulus De Boskabouter'' has been translated in many languages, including German, English, Swedish, South African (''Afrikaans''), Indonesian and Japanese.
!! Tropes:
* AnimalStereotypes: Oehoeboeroe is a wise, but stern, stoic owl. Reintje is a cunning and evil fox.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Oehoeboeroe the owl uses very old fashioned expressions.
** Gregorius, who always mixes up words and expressions in weird new creations.
* ArchEnemy: Eucalypta.
* BadassBeard: Paulus is a gnome, so...

* Literature/TheBible: Paulus, Salomo and Gregorius all have biblical names.
* CunningLikeAFox: Reintje the fox.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Paulus.
* GagNose: Eucalypta's has a large nose, fitting for an ugly witch like her.

* NonHumanSidekick: Eucalypta's evil sidekick is Krakras, a little featherless chick.
* OurGnomesAreWeirder: Paulus never wears a red hat.
* TheOwlKnowingOne: Oehoeboeroe is a very stoic owl, who usually remains solemn and calm at all times, providing words of wisdom and using very old-fashioned language.
* PrintLongRunners: The comic strip was published from 1946 tot 1957, then followed by a second series from 1963 until 1967. After another hiatus it was revived for a final time from 1973 to 1984.
* ShoutOut: Paulus has a cameo appearance in the ''Comicbook/DouweDabbert'' story ''Het bedrog van Balthasar''.
* SinisterSchnoz: Eucalypta has a wonderful hooked nose.
* SmokingIsCool: Despite being a children's strip Paulus is often seen smoking a pipe.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Paulus can talk to animals.

* TheStoic: Oehoeboeroe.
* TalkingAnimal: All animals are able to talk.
* VerbalTicName: Krakras the crow, whose name is based on the crow sound ''Kra'', described as ''krassen'' in Dutch. Oehoeboeroe the owl's name is based on the sounds an owl makes.
