Yps Magazine's 40th anniversary
Forty years ago today, Yps Magazine published its first
comic. Or, perhaps more memorably, it was on this day forty years ago
that some Germans opened Yps Magazine’s first “gimmick”.
The comic
itself was replete with tales of mystery, peril, and adventure, but many
would agree that the most irresistible surprise was the toy that came
with each new edition. They ranged from the simple (spinning tops) to
the sophisticated (kits to build functioning radios), and often the
slightly bizarre: one common and beloved gimmick was a package of Brine
Shrimp eggs that young readers were encouraged to hatch and grow
themselves.
Today’s Doodle hearkens back to the simpler days of
childhood, when the month’s most nagging uncertainty was the prize
awaiting young readers beneath Yps Magazine’s plastic cover.
Artist Nate Swinehart endeavored to recapture this sense of
anticipation and mystery with a Doodle that changes each time you see
it. Happy unwrapping, Germany.
