Eestin radion palkinto syksyltä 1989. Tämä kappale oli mummolan kirjoja, Kajaanissa on vielä toinen. Valitettavasti viimeiset sivut, joilla olisi tietoa piirtäjistä, ovat irronneet. Kansi on myös vähän tuhruinen ja muutamalla sivulla painomuste on jotenkin "syöpynyt" läpi, että joistakin piirroksista voi olla hankalampi saada selvää.

Tämä oli 1980-90 -luvun vaihteen ehdottomia lempikirjojani. Se on virolaisten piirtäjien pilapiirroskokoelma. Piirrokset on jaettu osioihin ihmisen elinkaaren mukaan: lapsuus, nuoruus, keski-ikä, vanhuus. En tietenkään tuolloin tajunnut useimpia vitsejä enkä tajua vieläkään, koska useat liittyvät hyvin tiiviisti Viron historiaan ja neuvostoaikaan. Luettuani tämän uudelleen sain useisiin kuviin aivan uusia tulkintoja, ja kirja avautui huomattavasti paremmin näin 15 vuoden jälkeen.

Kirja vaikutti minuun kuitenkin todella suuresti 1990-luvun alussa. Kirjassa on Hugo Hiibus -nimisen henkilön piirroksia. Nimesin hää-My Little Ponyni tämän mukaan Hiibus de Luzeksi. Kirjoitin siihen aikaan myös tarinavihkoja, joita nimitin Osa 1, Osa 2 jne. On erittäin mahdollista, että sivun 141 kuva vaikutti käänteentekevästi tähän Osa-sarjaan siten, että päähenkilöiksi tulivat ihmisten sijasta luurangot.

What an interesting book! I enjoyed this book very much. This book is exactly what one (at least I) think about Estonia in it's earlier days. Thank you Louhi!
Just to mention: there are some pages that tell about artists missing.

This book will be part of my Book From Every Country -challenge (Estonia).

Journal Entry 6 by Annelis from Kerava, Uusimaa Finland on Wednesday, January 03, 2007

Thank you very much for this book. It is representing Estonia in my Book From Every Country -challenge. At the same time I can get a glimpse of the past life of the Estonians which I do not know very much about. Some pictures made me laugh and some were not easy to understand at all.
I will post the book to Sheeseeker as soon as I get the address.

Posted the 12th of January.

I liked the cartoons - some were hard to understand indeed, but I think it's ok if you keep in mind when and where they were drawn. Some of them were very political, other covered everyday life. A good mixture...

Thanks a lot for the ring, lunatum. I'll send it to hendertuckian asap...
