I was thinking recently about newspapers in the interwar period especially just before the war (I’ve been recently trying to get my hands on Driberg’s Colonnade that begins in ‘37 if you want elaboration), and I was wondering if there were any specific newspaper columns you find interesting? (Sorry for being specific!)

Hi! Please don't apologize — specific is exactly the kind of question I like getting. And yes, please do elaborate on Driberg sometime; now I'm curious. 😊

I'll be honest: I very rarely find myself reading newspapers in real time. The ones I'd actually want to read are hopelessly paywalled or demanding a new email address every three pages (cough cough British Newspaper Archive). That said, I did comb through the Trove collection last week and through the Newspapers.com archive recently, so this is a good excuse to post some of what I found — mostly material related to David Low, Ramsay MacDonald, and Rose Rosenberg, MacDonald's secretary from 1923 to 1937. More on all of this to come!

On the column front — expanding slightly into magazines, which I hope you'll forgive — the two that come to mind most readily are Charivari from Punch and Low's Topical Budget from the Evening Standard. Most of the excerpts from my recent Punch scans are from Charivari: typically a few pages long, it mixes short jokes drawn from real news and anecdotes across current events, covering everything from film and fashion to politics and everyday British life. Low's Topical Budget serves a similar function but with sharper political teeth — featuring prominent figures of the time alongside Low's own recurring characters like Colonel Blimp and Muzzler.

On the German side: Kladderadatsch ran a summary spread called Rückblicke with small cartoons recapping the previous month or two, which I find charming as a format. Ulk also has these wonderful rubberhose-style cartoons, though they're entirely in Kurrent — old-fashioned German cursive that even native speakers find difficult — so I haven't been able to include any here yet — someday. In the meantime, do let me know what you make of the Driberg when you track it down! 😁

I made a quick sketch out of boredom. Ulk in my style. To me, she turned out so adoeable. So beautiful that I thought she might have been Stery's secret love

Reclusorio de los Malditos/ Heraldos de Dragones- Dracogénesis

La dracogénesis o conocida por los extranjeros como el paganismo dracónico, es la religión principal de los Heraldos de Dragones, esta religión adora a los antiguos Dragones de la Marisma, entes extintos que supuestamente en el pasado lejano de la Guerra del Origen dieron su sangre a beber a los primeros Heraldos, refugiados Lavamar que se escondieron en las marismas pantanosas a la sombra del Gran Muro Helado.

La Dracogénesis sostiene que antes de existir el pacto de sangre entre dragones y humanos, los Heraldos estaban emparentados con los Dragones, incluso antes de su surgimiento a través de los Úteros de Metal en los mares de Ulk. Esta creencia de que la humanidad, incluso antes de surgir estaba emparentada o ligada a los dragones es un pensamiento extendido por los distintos clanes de los Heraldos, con claras diferencias regionales entre cada mito particular. Podemos adjuntar el mito concreto de los Velacobre, que sostienen que antes de nacer la humanidad en los Úteros de Metal, estos se encontraban en otro lugar "Más Allá de las Perlas" (Folkloristas sostienen un origen en la costa de las Perlas de los Heraldos a pesar de que no hay evidencias claras de esto), en dicho lugar, los humanos convivían con otra clase de dragones muy distintos de los dragones-naga de la marisma.

Lo que si es cierto es la creencia firme en que la Maldición Dracónica es un castigo por el pecado de deshonrar a los dragones y que las protuberancias, deformaciones y mutaciones son una carga que su raza debe llevar encima hasta que encuentren la forma de frenar dicha maldición.
