Der Drehstuhl
Der Drehstuhl is a German picture-story sheet by Lothar Meggendorfer, published in 1879, for children and family readers, with a rhyming verse under each of its nine small framed scenes. The pictures show a boy repeatedly spinning and tumbling on a swivel stool in a room with a wooden door and a tub, and a designer could take from them the clear sequential panel layout and the comic timing of a mishap told in steps.
