Adamson

Oscar Jacobsson’s silent, single-panel comic strip Adamson ran from 1925 to 1929, published by Dr. Eysler & Co. in a single collected issue. Known for its wordless, universally understood humor, the strip follows the misadventures of its round-headed, mustachioed title character through everyday life. Jacobsson’s deceptively simple linework and expressive physical comedy made Adamson a pioneering example of the international silent comic, influencing the medium’s visual storytelling long before dialogue balloons became standard.
