Description

In the 1930s, Bruno Munari drew "humorous cartoons" for Bertoldo and Settebello (influential Italian satirical and humor magazines), accompanying them with "puns and strange little stories" inspired not only by Saul Steinberg, with whom he collaborated, but also by the American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, known as the inventor of the Rube Goldberg machine.
