Dwarf bang

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The dwarf Bumsti is a figure and comic series invented in 1949 by the Viennese artist and graphic artist Teja Aicher (1909–1979) . The stories and adventures of the dwarf, told in rhyme , appeared as a full-page comic in the Austrian magazine Wunderwelt .

The chubby dwarf is dressed in a red dwarf cap, a red jacket and blue trousers. He lives with his wife, the mouse, in a mushroom house in the dwarf country. Bumsti's "friends" are the dwarfs Jobs and Baldwin. The mouse is gray , but by no means inconspicuous. She has a keen ear and a very skeptical nature, which is only tempered by a checkered kitchen apron.

Adaptations

In 1975 Arminio Rothstein realized the world of Zwerg Bumsti as a puppet show . The 40 stories written by him and his later wife Christine Rothstein were broadcast as "Wichtelgeschichten" in the bedside snack every day at 5:55 pm on FS 1 ( ORF ).

The series was broadcast for the first time in around 40 episodes in 1975 and discontinued after a repetition in 1982 because the role models of the dwarf and his wife who worked in the household no longer seemed up-to-date. Dwarf Bumsti is a pasha and the portrayed marriage with the married "mouse" is misogynistic. Since this opinion arose 30 years after the Creator's death, the Creator could not comment on it himself. The Austrian Advertising Museum, which had received some episodes from Ms. Christine Rothstein, operator of Arminio Rothstein's “Puppet Theater Arlequin”, reported that research on the occasion of the exhibition “60 Years of Wonder World - Children's World” in the Alsergrund district museum (October 9, 2008 to February 1, 2009) showed that Teja Aicher portrayed himself with Bumsti - the lazy and pipe-smoking dwarf - and the gray field mouse was his personal view of his own wife.
