Thomas Fredrik Georg Funck (26 October 1919 – 30 December 2010) was a Swedish baron (freiherr), author of children's literature, a radio personality and a voice artist, most famous for his stories about Charlie Strap and Froggy Ball (Kalle Stropp och Grodan Boll).[1] He is the brother of Hasse Funck. He was married to Eva Funck and they have a son Gustav. Early careerFunck, who started out writing literature aimed for adults, has claimed to never have had any permanent employment.[1] During the 1940s he primarily worked as a guitar teacher. He performed his original songs in Norwegian radio on guitar. During this time he began to have stories sold, in order to have them read and performed on Swedish radio as well.[2] Charlie Strapp and Froggy BallCharlie Strapp and Froggy Ball had appeared as parts of Swedish radio shows since the mid 40s, but portrayed by regular actors. In the early 50s Funck started to do the voice of Charlie Strapp. The big breakthrough came in 1954, when all voices for the first time were provided by Funck himself, only with help of a guitar for sound effects. The radio performances were followed by several records with the same concept, a cartoon drawn by Nils Egerbrandt and from 1955 a series of books with illustrations by Einar Norelius. In 1956 a musical film also came out of it, Charlie Strap, Froggy Ball and Their Friends (Kalle Stropp, Grodan Boll och deras vänner), with actors in costumes miming while Funck provided the voices. Some parts were also animated with dolls.[3] After the 50s, interest allegedly seemed to fade, but then the 70s saw a revival of the characters after appearing on radio again.[2] In the late 1980s and early 90s two animated films were produced and directed by Jan Gissberg. {{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} Characters
