Summary

Cartoons from the height of a promising career tragically cut short E. O. Plauen created a rascally family strip inFather and Son. A gentle pantomime strip published in the German weeklyBerliner Illustrierte Zeitungin preWorld War II Germany,Vater und Sohnwas an immediate success and ran for three short but popular years, from 1934 to 1937. Plauen used a simple, clear cartooning style to tell his funny vignettes about a father who is just as much of a troublemaker as his little boya setup unique compared with the predictable scolding-father-versusunruly-scamp scenario seen in most humor strips of the time.Working against the stereotypical portrayal of a precocious kid and a doofus father, he expertly gave both titular characters their fair share of brilliance and clumsiness.Plauen's own story ended tragically in 1944 when he took his life the day before he was scheduled to appear in the People's Court for expressing anti-Nazi views. In memory of him and his talent as a cartoonist, this Drawn & Quarterly edition ofFather and Sonpresents a selection of his strips, placing Plauen's work alongside archival projects such as Frank King'sWalt & Skeezixand Tove Jansson'sMoomin, which bring these admirable repertoires to a new generation of readers.

Author Biography

E. O. Plauen (1909?44), born Erich Ohser, started working as an illustrator at the Sächsische Sozialdemokratische Presse in 1928. In his early work for the democratic magazine Vorwärts, he often made satirical drawings of political figures like Hitler and Goebbels. Because of his criticism against the ruling party, he was eventually banned from working by having his professional license suspended. From that time forward, he used the pseudonym E. O. Plauen, combining his initials with the name of the city he was raised in.
