Early broadsheet comics
This cartoon is a woodblock print; a broadsheet, commissioned in Saxony in 1617 as a souvenir poster to mark a hundred years of the Protestant reformation. It commemorates Luther's 1513 religious manifesto, and in it's attack on the Catholic church, is a preparation for war.
It was covered a couple of days ago as part of BBC Radio 4's "A History of the World in 100 Objects" series.

'MIND YOUR MANNERS!'
I highly recommend everyone checks out the new Donald Hamilton comic by Peter Lally and Paul Ashley Brown. It's one of the funniest things I've ever read. I'm not sure where it's available from yet, but I'll let you know when I find out. Or you could ask these guys ...
