| - | ''Punch'' was founded in [[July 17]] [[1841]] by [[Henry Mayhew]] and engraver [[Ebenezer Landells]]. At its founding it was jointly edited by Mayhew and [[Mark Lemon]]. Initially it was subtitled ''The London Charivari'', this being a reference to a satirical humour magazine published in [[France]] under the title ''[[Le Charivari]]''. Reflecting their satiric and humorous intent, the two editors took for their name and masthead the anarchic glove [[puppet]], [[Punch and Judy|Mr. Punch]]; the name also referred to a joke made early on about one of the magazine's first editors, Lemon, that "[[Punch (drink)|punch]] is nothing without [[lemon]]." Mayhew ceased to be joint editor in 1842 and became 'suggestor in chief' until he severed his connection in 1845. ''Punch'' was responsible for the modern use of the word '[[cartoon]]' to refer to a comic drawing. The illustrator [[Archibald Henning]] designed the cover of the magazine's first issues. The cover design varied in the early years, though [[Richard Doyle (illustrator)|Richard Doyle]] designed what became the magazine's [[masthead (publishing)|masthead]] in 1849. In the 1860s and 1870s, conservative ''Punch'' faced competition from upstart liberal journal ''[[Fun (magazine)|Fun]]'', but after about 1874, ''Fun'''s fortunes faded. At Evans's café in London, the two journals had 'Round tables' in competition with each other. | + | |
