A while back we published a story about a Catawiki item, a calendar from 1947. We were correct to assume that the cover art was not by Bob De Moor but two of our readers, Chris Mouton and Olivier Marin, pointed out that although the cover was surely not by Bob De Moor the calendar did hold 3 drawings by Bob De Moor inside.
