Tom Puss (Tom Poes in Dutch) is a fictional anthropomorphic cat and one of the two main characters, the other being Oliver B. Bumble (Olivier B. Bommel in Dutch), of an originally Dutch series of comic books bearing the name of either one main characters in their name, written by Marten Toonder. First they only featured Tom Puss. He is portrayed as noble, courageous, and heroic. Oliver B. Bumble was added as a recurring character in the third story but gradually became the main character because most stories depended on the more flawed Mr. Bumble to initiate the events of the stories.
