Appreciations
Peter Michael Lingens about Erich Eibl: “The people he draws are never angry and only rarely to blame for their misfortune. Rather, they are victims of a tragic-comic situation. ... Erich Eibl is the rare case of a caricaturist who is charitable even in his harshest criticisms. And that has something to do with the person Erich Eibl. "
Alfred Worm about Erich Eibl: “Erich Eibl is not a wadlzwicker and therefore waives this right [what is meant is the caricaturist's right to etch, bite and distort]: He does not mock and does not offend anyone. The figures he paints are like himself: amabile - lovable. "And further:" ... he is tolerant; friendly to everyone and humble. "
Bruno Kreisky on Erich Eibl: “I know people who are very intelligent. It manifests itself in such a way that you look at some cartoons for a long time and always come up with something new. And I admire that, also with you. You always come up with something new. "
