I found this a lovely little series, ostensibly meant for young Czech readers, but rather Grimm at times (as you can see).


(page 2)

I’m guessing the series was published in the ~1970’s. Happily for English-speakers, it was recently translated by one “Tomalakis.” So then, here’s 13 mini-chapters you can read:

Artist Jiří Kalousek worked effectively in a variety of styles, and passed away in 1986. More samples of the artist here:

    Sorry about that. Some of the images I post are too big for most Lemmy instances to host, and frankly, I’d rather not put that burden on them anyway.

    I did some testing just now, and if it helps, you only need to have Cloudfront and Imgur’s native suite of JS’s enabled. All others can be safely blocked, which has the nice side-benefit of blocking all ads and whatever other spam. (I use uMatrix extension)

    And TBF-- most significant sites require JS to be enabled, but with a selective script-blocker, you can cut out ~90% of the noise.

      Yeah, I use NoScript along with uBlock Origin, and I can get away with only enabling imgur.com.
