Naughty Jemima

A delightfully impish series from Ward and Lock, Naughty Jemima debuted in 1874 as the sole comic issue by German artist and writer Wilhelm Busch. This single, self-contained work captures the playful mischief and sharp, satirical edge that would define Busch’s later, more famous creations. Though brief, it stands as an early, charming example of his enduring influence on the comic strip form.
