Germany: Krtek

On 17th March I got four postcards: three from Germany and one from the USA.

One of the cards from Germany shows Krtek. Krtek is a Czechoslovakian children's TV character created by Zdeněk Miler and first shown in 1957. At the beginning Krtek was able to speak, but then his creator decided that everybody should understand him, so now he just make some sounds. Since 2002 there are no new episodes.

I bought this card in my home town.
