	Gustave Verbeek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gustave Verbeek (sometimes spelled Gustave Verbeck) was a newspaper cartoonist in the early 1900's.
		Verbeek's other works included The Terrors of the Tiny Tads, which featured a variety of strange creatures based on clever word combinations, such as a "hippopautomobile" (a hippopotamus with seats in its back as in an automobile) or a "pelicanoe" (a pelican in which a rider could sit and paddle like a canoe).
		Verbeek was of Dutch ancestry, but was born in Nagasaki, the son of Reformed Church in America missionary Guido Verbeck.

	Encyclopedia: Gustave Verbeek
		Gustave Verbeek [born Gustave Verbeck] (1867-1937), drew a fl-and-white Sunday comic strip entitled "The Upside-Downs of Little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo" for The New York Herald.
		Verbeek used this to create twelve panels of story, by the remarkable expedient of requiring the reader to turn the page upside down after reading the six panels.
		Gustave Verbeek's father was born Guido Verbeek, but changed his last name to Verbeck when he emigrated from the Netherlands to the United States, to better indicate its correct pronounciation to English speakers.

	Gustave Verbeek - Planet Perplex
		Gustave Verbeck (1867 - 1937) was the son of a Dutch missionary in Tokio.
		Around 1900 he moved to the United States, where his name was misspelled as Verbeek by an immigration officer.
		This is a part of "A fish story", and Verbeeks most famous drawing.

		Verbeek's characters are quite complex -- the man looks like the woman upside-down and vice-versa -- but I didn't have the time to devote to creating all-new character designs for just one cartoon, and I didn't want to have to steal Verbeek's actual characters, either.
		I doodled for a while, hitting upon the idea of making the hair of the cartoonist become Verbeek's beard (c'mon, with a name like 'Gustave Verbeek', he's got to have a beard).
		I hadn't written the upside-down story when I figured I could make the drawing hand with a pen become a hand holding a gun, and then it just wrote itself.

		His childhood was spent in Japan, he then studied in Paris, and finally moved to the United States in 1900 to begin a collaboration with a number of important illustrated magazines (Harper's, Saturday Evening Post).
		In the 1920s Verbeek retired from comics and became a painter and sculptor.
		The storyline, often bizarre and edged with dark humor, hardly seems to suffer from the rigid form Verbeck imposed on it; the strip retains a fresh and surprising element, even for modern-day readers.

		Gustave Verbeck grew up in Japan and left for Paris to study at the Art School.
		Gustave Verbeck's most important work is the 'Upside Downs' series, which are ingeniously created to constitute a twelve-panel story in six panels: after six panels, the reader turns the page upside down to see the other half of the tale.
		Gustave Verbeck died in 1937, at the age of 70.

	Encyclopedia: Guido Verbeck
		His son Gustave emigrated to the United States and gained some fame as a cartoonist.
		Comics (sometimes spelled comix, also called sequential art) is an art form that features a series of static images in fixed sequence, usually to tell a story.
		Verbeck was warned by one of his students that his life was in danger, so he moved his family from the hills of the native town to the island of Deshima, which was more easily defended by Western ships in the harbor.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Upside-Downs
		Verbeek was the creator of several comics features during the early years of the 20th century, such as Terrors of the Tiny Tads and The Loony Lyrics of Lulu.
		When the picture was inverted, Muffaroo's moustache became Lovekins's hair, his hat became her skirt, his toothy smile became her hatband, and vice versa.
		Aside from Verbeek's idiosyncratic drawing style, the only oddity in their appearance was her hat, with a pair of trailing plumes that corresponded to his legs.

	Verbeek's Terrors of the Tiny Tads
		Animals combined to form a new creature, and sometimes they mutated with inanimate objects like suitcases, trolley cars, and hotels.
		Not content with devising the most bizarre beings and doings of his day, Verbeek set another challenge for himself, a habit he was evidently unable to shake from the Upside-Downs days: the weekly invention of clever names.
		Hence the weekly fever dreams of the Tads' world are crowded with Hippopautomobiles, Sweet potatoads, Hotelephants (they were also dubbed 'Quadrupedifices') and Dandelionesses.

		The man who took on this challenge was Gustave Verbeek.
		We are happy to report that Verbeek was not harmed by this particular daredevil cartooning endeavor, which he did for 64 straight weeks.
		He went on to draw the comparatively conventional cartoons "The Terrors of the Tiny Tads" and "The Loony Lyrics of Lulu." He eventually retired from cartooning to paint "serious paintings." He died at age 70 in 1937.

		What probably makes him unattractive today are the frequent racial jokes in his works, and though they were probably standard at the time he really insisted quite a lot.
		In particular, he was clearly imitated (and improved upon) by Gustave Verbeek — with whom he collaborated on a Nursery Rhymes for Grown-Ups — who produced a series of Upside-Downs in which you read half the story 'upside', then turn the page 'down' and read the second part — a real tour de force.
		Anway, I bought some of his books on eBay, and since their condition was not very good, I decided to scan and put them online: the pictures are not always perfect, then, but no one with a good copy would probably risk it with a scanner.

		Gustave Verbeek was a mathematician and artist who was famous for upside-down images that still made sense.
		I have used some of his images in seminars for grade school and high school students, and they are always a hit.
		Read the panels in order, then turn the image upside down (two 90-degree rotations can be done by an image viewer).

		Verbeek cleverly uses the fable, though, in setting up the unlikely plot for this story.

	Reviews: Comix by Borin Van Loon
		An extraordinary, turn-of-the-century favourite of mine is Gustave Verbeek's 'The Upside Downs Of Little Lady Lovekins And Old Man Muffaroo' (left), surely the longest strip title in history and in subject, scripting and design, unique.
		An excellent history of comics has recently been published by Roger Sabin (9), while veteran feminist comix artist, Trina Robbins fills in the gaps regarding U.S. comics for women (10).
