Around 1916 started the first of a long line of artists his work in the newspaper. Per Krogh, the son of Christian and Oda Krogh, designed not only the classic reklameplakaten with a man who stands bredbent and read the daily newspaper; he enriched the newspaper with teatertegninger, one of the classic genres within avisillustrasjon.

For the tidas readers, who were accustomed to the dense, compact columns from top to bottom in the newspaper, page up and page down, it must have been refreshing for such a break. The drawings were the newspaper’s lungs, a breathing holes in the massive tekstopphopningen. Krogh drawn not only actors, he also delivered vignettes to other pages, such as the sport.
A variety of genres
the Drawing has a different function in a newspaper. Besides the traditional teatertegningen, processed by Thoralf Klouman in the inter-war years, it became more and more common with portraits, political satire, humorous drawings, cartoons, stemningsbilder and illustrations for news articles. Some mastered the entire registry, other specialized on one or more of these noble branches.
The longtime editor Einar skavlan talkshow had many friends among artists. One of them was Henrik Sørensen, who so far was a visit to the newspaper. More significant as avistegner was Ragnvald Blix, one of the most scathing, political karikaturtegnerne in the story – with a deep political insight in addition to his artistic endowment. After the newspaper stopped coming out in the spring of 1943, published Blix his anti-nazi caricatures in Sweden.

The subscriber, which without doubt has set the strongest mark on Dagbladet columns, Gösta Hammarlund. He mastered all the above mentioned genres (he started in fact with a cartoon). The only thing he did not worship, was the political satiren.
The human comedy was his discipline, and it restrained him to the fullest. Everyday small fortredeligheter was under the Hammarlunds pen is transformed into the glorious humor in it fixed the drawing in the top left corner on page three, in the replikkvekslinger between kontorister, housewives, gentlemen on the town, sure kjerringer, cheeky chicks and rotløs youth.

His portraiture was unique, varied in expression, yet there was no doubt about who was behind the. The same applied to teatertegningene. Less attention is an endless number of illustrations to the poems that were a regular feature in the Newspaper every Saturday and to the articles on lørdagssidene, ranging from naturskildringer to the trip reports from abroad.
Dusteforbundet
A permanent fixture in the newspaper was also Frederick stack’s column Dusteforbundet, on the same side as the Hammarlund. But the two stood in no way in any competition. The stack had its own satirical technique. He presented the idiotic and unreadable texts sourced from all over the nation, from local newspapers, fagblad, scientific journals and political statements, with his own comments where he took våset “seriously”. As such, he was a språkkritiker of rank. Bidragenes authors were awarded membership cards.
He also wrote their own texts about a fixed persongalleri, with Dusteforbundets president Darwin P. Erlandsen in the tip.

One of the etterkrigstidas most popular subscribers and authors, Kjell Aukrust, delivered their texts and drawings from his childhood in Alvdal, norway to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, where they were warmly embraced. They were later bestsellers in books with the titles “Simen” and “my Brother”. But the Newspaper was in front.
KVERNELAND: In five years, Steffen Kverneland, a fixed søndagsside with the series “Amputated classics”, in which he condensed the action and lines from the literary work to a few, aptly routes. Here is a drawing of Edvard Munch, who later became a great success as kverneland’s internationally famous, drawing biography “Munch” (2013). Show more
The biggest political karikaturtegneren since Blix, Hans Normann Dahl, appeared in Dagbladet columns at the beginning of the 1970s. He was a draftsman for a new political era, characterized by the EEC-struggle, the Vietnam war and Richard Nixon rise and fall as an american president. Dahl was one of Finn Graff, which from 1988 was the most scathing, political commentator on tegnefronten. At the same time he showed that he is a portrettegner of rank.
Comic book-boom
Between these storhetene, it’s tempting to mention other that has characterized the newspaper. For many years illustrated the excellent Rune Johan Andersson reviews and articles. Multitalentet Arne Nøst made a long series of teatertegninger and portraits to forfatterintervjuer on kultursidene. The Finnish cartoonist and aforistikeren Henrik Tikkanen was in a period a regular feature on page three. In the product code era has Fredrik skavlan talkshow (as drawing) and Lisa Aisato been among those who have set a mark on the newspaper.
