The award is named after the Swedish cartoon strip "Urhunden" which was created by Oskar Emil "O.A." Andersson (1877–1906), who was one of the pioneers in Swedish comics. It featured a prehistoric man in modern surroundings. The title character was a mixture of a dog and a dinosaur, with erratic and often drastic behavior. [2] [3]
