Adamson

Oscar Jacobsson’s Adamson is a wordless, single-panel gag strip that has run in the German publisher Rowohlt since 1954, following the daily misadventures of a hapless, mustachioed everyman. Created by Jacobsson, the series is a landmark of minimalist humor, relying on expressive body language and universal situations to deliver its gentle, timeless comedy. Though only one issue is listed, the strip’s enduring international syndication makes it a quiet classic of 20th-century cartooning.
