Can You Beat It - Maurice Ketten in 1918
Turn of the 20thC German Humor and Art Magazines
A lot to look at here. The not knowing what is going on is part of "the fun” for me, makes the work seem even weirder—I’m looking for weird cartooning—but if you know German, maybe it’s more interesting. Maybe it’s more boring? Maybe the ideas and ideology on display are too dark if you understand.
I took 4 years of German in school, but it never made a big impression…The German word for “joke” is “ulk.”

Mothers News News: Now Online
Jacob Berendes put a link up to all of the Mothers News.
He’s one of my favorite writers and his weekly newsletter is a favorite (you should sign up). If Mothers News is new to you, you are in for it. You can learn more here. This is one of the most important developments in online newspaper content o.t.y. and o.a.t. imo. Comics nerds will be interested to see many rare and interesting strips.

Distracted
While visiting the comics show at the Chicago Cultural Center the other day (see my Instagram Highlight here for more) I saw a pre-echo of the famous distracted boyfriend meme in this strip by Frank King, which appeared on April 2, 1916 in the Chicago Tribune.
