Lachen om miserie

Galgenhumor is een vaak voorkomend fenomeen, zeker in oorlogstijd. Lachen om (eigen) miserie vervult dan een psychologische behoefte. Daarom is het niet verwonderlijk dat sommige Belgische frontblaadjes humoristische artikels publiceerden.

Het meest opvallende satirische blad was evenwel de Britse ‘Wipers Times’. Het blaadje is bij momenten een satirisch meesterstuk dat de oorlog op humoristische wijze becommentarieert via fictieve nieuwsberichten en reclameboodschappen.

Lees de ‘Wipers Times’ verzameld in deze collectie en ontdek meer over humor tijdens de oorlog in de blog ‘lachen om miserie’.
