Hearst responded by launching a lawsuit which ultimately failed. Fisher had taken the precaution of copyrighting the strip in his own name, facilitating the move to King Features and making it impossible for the Chronicle to continue the strip using another artist.Ī dispute between Fisher and King Features arose in 1913, and Fisher moved his strip on September 15, 1915, to Wheeler Syndicate (later Bell Syndicate), who gave Fisher 60% of the gross revenue, an enormous income in those times. On June 7, 1908, the strip moved off the sports pages and into Hearst's San Francisco Examiner where it was syndicated by King Features and became a national hit, subsequently making Fisher the first big celebrity of the comics industry.
#MUTT AND JEFF TRIAL#
A 1908 sequence about Mutt's trial featured a parade of thinly-disguised caricatures of specific San Francisco political figures, many of whom were being prosecuted for graft. Episodes were drawn the day before publication, and frequently referred to local events that were currently making headlines, or to specific horse races being run that day. It appeared only in the Chronicle, so Fisher did not have the extended lead time that syndicated strips require.
This strip focused on a single main character, until the other half of the duo appeared on on March 27, 1908. According to Fisher, Young told him, "It would take up too much room, and readers are used to reading down the page, and not horizontally." Young about doing a regular strip as early as 1905, but was turned down. Fisher had approached his editor, John P. The featured character had previously appeared in sports cartoons by Fisher, but was unnamed. Mutt debuted on Novemon the sports pages of the San Francisco Chronicle. MuTT and JeFF was an actual comic from way back in the early 1900s.īelow is some insight into the comic strip. MI5 used Mutt and Jeff's radio sets to relay false information, leading the Germans to believe that the United Kingdom intended to invade Norway (this activity was a component of Operation Fortitude). Mutt and Jeff's mission was supposed to be one of sabotage, as well as having a secondary intelligence role, reporting via wireless military locations, deployments and civilian morale. 'Mutt and Jeff' is also cockney rhyming slang for 'deaf'. MI5 soon 'turned' them, assigning them their codenames, which were the names of a pair of cartoon strip characters (see Mutt and Jeff). They immediately turned themselves in to the local police as German spies. Sometimes the simpler hiragana character ゆ ( yu) is used, to be understandable to younger children.Ī) Another name for the Good Cop/Bad routineī) In April 1941 two Norwegians, Helge Moe (Mutt) and Tor Glad (Jeff) fetched up on a remote Aberdeenshire beach, having travelled by seaplane and rubber dinghy. The presence of an onsen is often indicated on signs and maps by the symbol ♨ or the kanji, 湯 ( yu, meaning "hot water"). Japanese television channels often feature special programs about local onsens.
Japanese often talk of the virtues of "naked communion" ( 裸の付き合い, hadaka no tsukiai ) for breaking down barriers and getting to know people in the relaxed homey atmosphere of a ryokan with an attached onsen. They are a major tourist attraction drawing Japanese couples, families or company groups who want to get away from the hectic life of the city to relax. Onsen are a central feature of Japanese tourism often found out in the countryside but there are a number of popular establishments still found within major cities. Baths may be either public run by a municipality or private ( 内湯, uchiyu ) often run as part of a hotel, ryokan or Bed and Breakfast ( 民宿, minshuku ). Onsen come in many types and shapes, including outdoor 露天風呂, rotenburo and indoor baths. Onsen were traditionally used as public bathing places and today play a central role in directing Japanese domestic tourism. As a volcanically active country, Japan has thousands of onsen scattered along its length and breadth. It will be loaded up with camping gear, hiking gear and my folding Brompton bicycle.Īn onsen ( 温泉 ) is a term for hot springs in the Japanese language, though the term is often used to describe the bathing facilities and inns around the hot springs.
I still haven't made a choice between the 19. This will be the transportation around Japan.
