Abstract
- The article traces the history of the England-based humorous weekly paper "Punch." Kenneth Bird, popularly known under his pseudonym Fougasse, is the first editor to express himself in images rather than in words. The most famous cartoon of the periodical is "Dropping the Pilot," featuring German chancellor Otto von Bismarck which appeared in 1890. The periodical was founded by Mark Lemon and two other British journalists in 1841.
