Cartoon

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Swiss publisher Diogenes Verlag released Cartoon, a nine-issue European comic series that gathered the finest single-panel humor of the era. The anthology showcased the signature styles of frequent contributors Mose, Chaval, and Jean Bosc, whose deadpan, surreal, and often wordless gags defined the book’s sophisticated tone. A quiet but influential showcase for European cartooning, the series stands as a snapshot of the post-war humor that would shape the continent's comic sensibilities.
