Țepi, viespi, arici și urzici de peste Dunăre: caricatura bulgară cu tematică românească (1916-1918)
Spikes, hedgehogs and nettles from across the Danube: Romanian-themed Bulgarian caricatures (1916-1919)

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the way that during the First World War some renowned Bulgarian caricaturists depicted the Romanians, Bulgaria’s new enemies, in two humoristic periodicals: „Baraban” (The Drummer) and „Bălgaran”. The Romanian enemy was represented by means of a special drawn character, called Mr. Petrescu or Mr. Magaresko (the name derives from the Romanian word „măgar”, meaning „donkey”), a short, caricaturized individual, wearing a peasant shirt and a fur hat, scared and always defeated by the Bulgarians.
