Dachlil , weekly newspaper for children [issued every Thursday], edited by Emanuel Olsvanger. Jerusalem, June 6, 1940. First issue. [4 issues were printed].
Dachlil was the second attempt in the 1940s to publish a children’s newspaper for entertainment purposes. After the unsuccessful attempt to publish the Ach Sameach newspaper [only two issues were published], this newspaper was published in Jerusalem. Its goals were to “increase our society to a large society including all children in the country,” as the editor wrote in his introduction.
Dachlil included illustrated jokes; cute dialogues between two “dachlilim” – scarecrows, Sha and Ga; illustrated serial story in the style of comics titled Masoat Gad V’Yossi and other adventure stores about Rut and Yoel the private investigators. In addition, it includes dialogue for the first time in the format of “speech balloons” next to the captions printed under the illustrations.
8 pages. 31 cm. Page folded into four [not cut]. Other than two light tears in the margins of the title page, the issue is in very fine condition.
Dachlil, a weekly newspaper for children [appeared every Thursday], edited by Emmanuel Ullsbanger. Jerusalem, June 6, 1940, second and fourth issue [a total of four issues were printed].
Dachlil was the second attempt made in the 1940’s to publish a children’s newspaper with a clear humorous nature. After an unsuccessful attempt to publish a children’s newspaper named ‘Ach Sameach’ [only two issues were published], the humorous weekly newspaper before us appeared in Jerusalem. The goal was “To expand our company to a large company which includes all children in Israel”. In “Dachlil” were cartoons, amusing dialogues of the “scarecrows” Sha and Ga, a serial cartoon in a comic book style name “The Travels of Gad and Yossi” and a serialized adventure story about Ruth and Yael the detectives. This was the first time that dialogue appeared in the form of bubbles from the characters’ mouths, next to subtitles printed under the illustrations.
In the booklet before us, which was the fourth and last one published, the editor writes that “It is not pleasant to be the bearer of bad news, but unfortunately that is what I must do this time: Dachlil will not be published next week and you will have to wait two whole weeks for the next issue. After such a long break you will enjoy the issue even more”. However, “the next issue” was never published. This issue marked the end of the newspaper.
