Keppler, Joseph

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.07 sec.

Keppler, Joseph (1837–1894)

Austrian-born US caricaturist and publisher. In 1870 he founded Puck, also printed in German (it was revived in New York in 1877 in an English-language version). His intricate cartoons lampooned politicians, Prohibition, and other issues of the day. He also created several cartoon icons, notably a bewhiskered Uncle Sam.

He was born in Kieligenstadt. After studying art in Vienna, he joined his father in the USA in 1867 where he soon founded a German-language journal of humour, Die Vehme.
