Back in the early 1990s I wrote single gags to go into European newspapers and magazines for, amongst others, the German Baaske Agency. Got paid once and heard no more since -these could be in constant reprint and I'd never know it!
Anyway, I scanned some on the old 1990s computer so quality ain't great but here -see if they give you a smile!
Artist on these was John "Sepp" Schiltz.

Wonderful stuff, Terry. I do like the 'Always wear a safety helmet' joke.The silent scream says volumes. John Schiltz' style is very nice, too. Not too loose and jusr dark enough. Great. These, with very little tweaking, should be appearing in newspapers now.

Well, OK. Yours are better... but the point is - one more time ! I'm off home. See ya.
I didn't know that these were here ! They were reproduced in a tiny, tiny little book. I love the new captions Stransky.
DeleteOne day I need to find these and re-scan. Over a year ago? You know, I couldn't even remember posting these!
ReplyDeleteThe originals are in my files. It's about two decades ago, but should be in a yellow file. All TH files were yellow, so, hopefully they won't be difficult for me to find. I was actually looking for the piece on Braque that I thought I'd remembered.
