YES! He used to be in <i>Wiener</i> every month, a German mag in the 80s. I'm permanently Deix-damaged. Thank you, MrBaliHai.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25589-485113Mon, 05 May 2003 20:09:05 -0800mucksterBy: bruceo

Deix's drawing style happily reminds me of <a href="http://www.stevebrodner.com">Steve Brodner</a>.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25589-485118Mon, 05 May 2003 20:16:05 -0800bruceoBy: phylum sinter

bruceo, it reminds me a bit of Brodner too. His subject matter is closer to that of <a href="http://www.plymptoons.com/biography/bio.html">Bill Plimpton</a> if you ask me though...
[note: no one did, purely for sake of discussion].
MrBaliHai, thanks for showing this! I've not been so impressed with an artist since I first saw <a href="http://dali.karelia.ru/html/drawings.htm">Dali's immense collection of drawings</a>. Makes me wonder if i'll ever amass such a collection of a single medium as well.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25589-485147Mon, 05 May 2003 21:43:42 -0800phylum sinterBy: Slithy_Tove

Highly disturbing stuff. Thanks!
For some reason, reminds me of both the art style and the violent/sexual content of Tanino Liberatore and Stefano Tamburini's <a href="http://ripfiles.e-workers.de/archiv/harhar/">RanXerox</a>.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25589-485206Tue, 06 May 2003 00:01:51 -0800Slithy_ToveBy: i_am_joe's_spleen

That last one: "Following discussions about GE maize, it has become clear that many farmers have absolutely no objection to genetic or similar experiments, but on the contrary, they recognise a [potential] enormous improvement in their situation.

Thanks, everyone, for the additional links. Thanks also, Herr Spleen, for the impromptu translation. I have a couple of Deix books, and used to spend many an hour analyzing some of the wordier cartoons, difficult sometimes since much of what he does is in an Austrian-Bavarian dialect, not High German.
Deix is the only artist I know whose work can get a museum full of Northern Germans to laugh out loud. I attended a retrospective of his work in Hamburg back in the the early '90s and was amazed to hear all these normally dour Prussians having their funnybones tickled.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25589-485244Tue, 06 May 2003 04:25:28 -0800MrBaliHaiBy: soyjoy

phylum, yeah, Bill Plympton sprang instantly to mind when I saw these, and though I can see a little Brodner too (especially in the more derisive attitude), Diex seems to avoid those stretched-out pointy extremities Brodner likes so much, in favor of the more plump, rounded forms of Plympton. It's not a question of plagiarism, but does anybody know the chronology - who saw whose work first? Or is it just two cartoonists simultaneously developing a certain faux-cutesy style half a world away?comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25589-485335Tue, 06 May 2003 08:29:07 -0800soyjoy
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
