Hvepsen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hvepsen ("The Wasp") was a Norwegian humorous and satirical magazine.

It was founded in 1905 by people involved in the labour movement in Kristiania, including Joh. Johansen. Ole O. Lian, Marius Ormestad, Lyder Strøm and Hans Østerholt.[1] Østerholt was the editor-in-chief from 1905 to 1925.[2]

Illustrators for Hvepsen include Jens R. Nissen, text contributors include Johan Falkberget.[1] Falkberget's Bør Børson was first published as a feuilleton in Hvepsen.[2]

The 1920 were tumultuous times. The Norwegian Labour Party saw two parties split away, and Hvepsen supported the new Social Democratic Labour Party of Norway. For this reason the magazine was evicted from Folkets Hus in 1922. It went defunct in the mid-1920s, and the publishing rights were held by Arbeidermagasinet until 1932.[1][2]
