In the 70s, “Pif Gadget” was a popular French youth magazine. It emerged from the communist youth magazine “Le jeune patriote” and was the first magazine with a gimmick. “Pif Gadget” had a circulation in the millions - four times as high as the competition paper “Le Journal de Mickey”. The magazine owes its success to the comic stories penned by renowned authors such as Goscinny, Gotlib, Mandryka, Uderzo, Mordillo, Tabary and Hugo Pratt. This was followed by an internal editorial struggle for art and commerce, which was astonishing in view of the communist sentiments of the editors.

The German version “Yps” appeared as a West German children's magazine from 1975 and also reached millions of copies. Some gimmicks, such as the famous tadpole shrimp, still have cult status in Germany today. The documentation shows how modern and innovative “Pif Gadget” was back then. At the height of its success, the magazine was a perfect fit for its time: in the early 70s, the gimmick reflected the plastic boom at the time, while towards the end of the same decade, attempts were made to awaken environmental awareness among young readers. In the 80s “Pif Gadget” showed the first signs of age. The magazine was discontinued two years after the end of the USSR. The children's magazine disappeared from the market for years. “Yps” returned to the kiosk in Germany in October 2012 as a magazine for adults - with tadpole shrimp as a supplement.

Yps - a communist invention?

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced press reporting politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it is "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
