[edit] Repetition

While it is important to describe Kasperle's relationship with the similar characters of Pulcinella, Punch and Judy, et cetera, it seems that far too much of this article is repeating details that only need be recounted in those characters' respective articles.IanThal 21:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Max Jacob

Is the Max jacob version of Kaspar really the dominant tradition in the 20th century?IanThal 21:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Political Propaganda

I would be interested in some information about the use of Kasperle by politcal organisations in 1930's (Red Kaspelre etc)

I have seen a propaganda poster from World War II (I cannot find an image on the web) that portray Kasperle in the clouds beating Allied fighter planes with his stick, though I'd not be surprised if his cousin, Mister Punch was not used similarly in British propagand during the same war.IanThal 12:49, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] pictures?

The line "Professor Edwards was kind enough to grant us permission to use his picture (on the left)." has no picture. This suggests this material is from another source.
