Die Fliege
Die Fliege is a German comic picture sheet by Wilhelm Busch, published in Munich in 1865 as a printed series of illustrations for a general audience. Its fifteen small hand-coloured panels show a plump man in a green coat battling a housefly across an armchair, a table and a floor. A designer could take from it the economy of a sequential grid, with each cell reading clearly through a single gesture and a repeated figure set against plain interior furniture.
