Ernest Riebe

Ernest Riebe immigrated to the United States from his native Germany sometime around the turn of the 20th century. Not much of his biography is known. His “Mr. Block” comics began appearing in the Spokane Industrial Worker in 1912, and his art appeared in IWW publications through 1922. His eventual fate is also unknown, but his most famous creation was immortalized in a song by Joe Hill titled, appropriately, “Mr. Block.”

ABOUT

We are Blunderbuss Magazine, a web magazine of arts, culture, and politics, an ordnance of fire and improvisation. What ties together these essays, stories, poems, photographs, comics, and other bits of aesthetic shrapnel is a common attitude of visceral humanism. We aim for earnest noise. We want to splash in the mud of lived experience, to battle for a radical empathy, and to provide a megaphone to howling assertions of human subjectivity.
