Der Bauer und das Kalb
Der Bauer und das Kalb is a German picture-story sheet by Wilhelm Busch, published in Munich in 1862 for a general audience of readers of comic illustrated broadsheets. The page is a grid of twelve small hand-coloured scenes, each captioned with rhymed German verse, showing a farmer trying to lead a stubborn calf. The sequence of figures pulling, tumbling and leaping in the frames offers a designer a clear model for comic strip pacing, panel grids and expressive caricature of stubborn animals.
