Joseph Keppler was born in Vienna where he studied art and began publishing satirical cartoons. He emigrated to the US in 1867. There he started two weekly magazines, which were not very successful. In New YOrk he worked as a cartoonist for Frank Leslie's Illustrated magazine. In 1976 he made a new try with a satirical magazine of his own, named "Puck". It was published in a German and an English version and by 1980 it was well established as a weekly magazine with a circulation of 80,000 copies. Puck was a very critical magazine with hostile attacks on the Catholic church and women's suffrage.
