Adamson

Oscar Jacobsson’s Adamson ran for six issues from 1925 to 1929, published by Dr. Eysler & Co. This silent, single-panel comic strip—starring a bald, mustachioed everyman—relied entirely on visual gags and expressive body language, making it an early and influential example of wordless humor in European comics. Jacobsson’s clean, minimalist linework and the strip’s universal, often ironic situations gave Adamson a quiet charm that resonates as a precursor to the modern cartoon gag.
