one of the best recent cartooning rediscoveries has been @JucikaDaily / @JucikaInOrder - a Hungarian comic that ran from the 50s through ‘70

JUCIKA is over 50 years old, but she can tell us PLENTY about what& #39;s been FORGOTTEN when it comes to what makes GOOD CARTOONING!

Let& #39;s start with her design. It& #39;s very 50s/60s, which in modern terms we& #39;d call "flat" BUT note how despite being SIMPLE, her shapes and their proportions are just right for maximal APPEAL. this is a very subtle balance that requires SKILL. compare to her modern counterpart 4 ex.

Jucika is a silent strip, AND YET DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF DIALOGUE she has PERSONALITY that is both SPECIFIC and RELATABLE. the humor derives not from contrivances of plot, self-aware irony or pop culture references, but how her character REACTS to things - she feels ALIVE

Most modern cartoon characters have 1 or 2 personality traits & if they& #39;re female, it& #39;s "sassy" & "smarter than men." Jucika is COMPLEX (again, w/o the crutch of dialogue) She can be flirty or shy, selfish or kindly, proud or humble. She& #39;s contradictory - just like a real person!

One specific aspect of Jucika& #39;s personality is that she& #39;s flirty & likes male attention, but is also a romantic who plays cupid to bring other men & women together - or just solves problems through the power of flirting

Jucika& #39;s flirty, but no bimbo. Stands up to horny men, but gets horny too. Faithful to boyfriends, but capable of caprice. Respects other women, but competitive w/ them for men.

Is any modern female cartoon character so well-rounded as Jucika - a woman your great-grandma& #39;s age?

Good cartooning is so rare today - fun, appealing characters and charismatic FEMALE characters (not just male types in female bodies) even rarer still - that Jucika is resonating decades later, inspiring new fans & new fanart (the truest test of appeal.) Follow her Twitter accts!
