PunchCartoons:英國諷刺漫畫雜誌是英國老牌的諷刺漫畫雜誌之一,擁有160多年的創刊歷史,提供政治諷刺漫畫、家庭漫畫、社會漫畫等內容,通過詼諧的諷刺手法描述社會熱點問題。
PunchCartoons創刊於1841年該雜誌以“捍衛被壓迫者及對所有權威大力鞭策”著稱。在巔峰時期,《笨拙》每期銷量都以千本計,但在八十年代末期,銷量跌至危險水平,並於九二年一度停刊。法耶茲於九六年將之復刊,但訂購不足六千冊,而每期印費卻逾四十五萬港元。今次停刊後,《笨拙》會保留一個網站,以及一個藏有五十萬冊漫畫的圖書館。
Punch has launched this cartoon prints-on-demand shop through Printree (the online trading name for CreateOnline Limited) to enable a global audience to view and purchase fine art giclée prints from its collection of 500,000 genuine Punch cartoons and Punch illustrations. The current selection represents only a fraction of this entire collection so if there is anything you would like to see please let us know.
Punch, the magazine of humour and satire, ran from 1841 until 2002. It was a truly British institution with an international reputation for its witty and irreverent take on the world. It showcased some of the world’s greatest comic writers and finest cartoonists, and gave us the idea of the cartoon as we know it today.
