characters

Seicherl ( Viennese : "weak-chested guy") represented the exact opposite of the socialist clientele of the newspaper as a petty bourgeois who sympathized with Hitler . His dog Struppi was Seicherl's constant companion, who commented on his master's actions with the voice of reason.

Appear

The picture stories appeared in the newspaper Das Kleine Blatt from October 5, 1930 to July 30, 1939 (and then sporadically until spring 1940), although the content became apolitical after the introduction of the corporate state in Austria in 1934. Due to the popularity of the Seicherl, the first special volumes appeared in 1933. After the Second World War , the Seicherl stories were published in various Viennese newspapers from 1958 to December 23, 1961 , including the Wiener Wochenblatt , without being able to build on their earlier successes.
