Salto & Ubba BOOK 1 Salto & Ubba live in a coastal city. They have a dog and a cat, Hundred and Honor.

Salto performs in the local theater Pontus. As Salto Por Favor he has a bearlesque act. Ubba has a small cleaning company: Sponge Poof. The tourist season is declining and so are the bookings for performances. This makes Salto nervous. He and Ubba have often had a discussion about this. One evening Ubba is fed up and cuts Salto off with the words: 'Find a project!'

"If you don't have the unique comic strip 'Salto & Ubba' by top artist Wilbert van der Steen in your bookcase, you will only get yourself bad luck."
Rick van der Made, poet, columnist, editor-in-chief Gaykrant

“It is slow, actually about nothing, therefore about an awful lot, it is sensitive, personal, entertaining, original, moving.”
Marc Legendre, acclaimed screenwriter (Amoras, Rode Ridder, etc.), comics artist, cartoonist

“How gratifying that, without admonishing fingers, a story full of obvious diversity is told here with compassion and humor about love and universal human relationships. And I'm not even talking about the eye-catching drawing style.”
Julien Antonetti, storyteller/theatre producer
