 Did you Know...?: F.M. Howarth and "Puck" Magazine
Puck was the name of a German language humor periodical that debuted in 1871 from Austrian immigrant Joseph Keppler.
It was an anthology devoted to his work for Puck, however, that helped establish the format many books reprinting Sunday newspaper comic strips would follow in later years.
Recreating several of Howarth's Puck pieces, both sequential and single-gag and in both color and fl and white, this book is also often regarded as a “bridge” between the Victorian and Platinum Ages.

 Part III: A Popular Medium
To be sure, Puck depended on all strata of the population, in that the political inspiration came from the intellectual aristocrats while the general public put ten cents down each week to keep the magazine in print.
Fischer writes that the success of a political cartoon rests in its ability "to influence public opinion through its use of widely and instantly understood symbols, slogans, referents, and allusions" [7]; a sampling of the lithographs from 1880 to 1884 indicates that there was a broad shared culture for Keppler and company to work with.
The establishment of Joseph Keppler's magazine Puck, whose cartoons drew artistic guidance from German and Italian archetypes and received ideological inspiration from Mugwump opinion, marked a significant moment in which the ideas of an intellectual elite could be successfully relayed to the masses.
