Puck was the first successful humor magazine in the United States of colorful cartoons, caricatures and political satire of the issues of the day. It was founded in 1876 as a German-language publication by Joseph Keppler, an Austrian immigrant cartoonist. Puck‘s first English-language edition was published in 1877, covering issues like Tammany Hall, presidential politics, and social issues of the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Puck was the first magazine to carry illustrated advertising and the first to successfully adopt full-color lithography printing for a weekly publication.  Puck was published from 1876 until 1918.
