Little Man, What Now? is a blog. Click here to visit us. For your convenience we have provided a selection of our recent articles below. Click an article to read the whole thing. If the mood takes you, you can read on here for a more formal introduction to our publication.
Little Man, What Now (currently a meagre web-log) has returned, from the depths of bankruptcy, to battle it's way back to its former position of importance. For enlightenment please read our about:
Founded in 1842 by Adam Hawks, The Little Man had a glorious history as a journal of satire and commentary, competing with the more puerile Punch magazine. Sadly the days when John Stuart Mill used our pages to argue for universal suffrage are long gone. The printing presses finally stopped in 1970 after an unwarranted prosecution under the Obscene Publications Act that quickly followed a vexatious libel action brought by Sir Anthony Eden.
The Little Man's first foray into electronic publishing was in 1982, using the Prestel system, but this was shortlived. In 2005 the wonders of Google's Blogger reduced our overheads and led us to try again. The Little Man was a quarterly publication and we continue that tradition with long periods of inactivity, punctuated by intense but sporadic bursts of creative output. In a mark of respect to Captain Oates, our military correspondent during the Boer War, we pseudonymously honour his name and maintain anonymity. We, also, have been away for some time. Continued legal wrangling with the Eden Estate prevents us using the original name, so welcome to Little Man, What Now?.
And thus, with the Estate of Adam Hawks behind us, and the LMWN Trust, we go forth into the world to discuss humour, books, entertainment, politics, and any issue that may take our fancy.
If you really must anthropomorphise us then imagine us as a hyperactive early 30's gentleman, with sword cane by our side, desperately rowing a canoe up the Amazon with one hand, and composing Conrad's Heart Of Darkness with t'other... No, we aren't a very believable person, but we can write, and we can entertain. So, we are Little Man, What Now?, Hear us ROAR!
Little Man, What Now? Has a history of many names, our pages have been graced by all from Thomas Huxley to Enoch Powell, thus it would be disingenuous to follow tides of celebrity. Nonetheless, the wise will find our ears open, the educated will be asked to teach, and the revolutionary will see us raise arms.
May those who see the world through fresh eyes join us amongst the radicals.

Hi. It's great to find another Euro dweller :) Thanks for the add and good luck with your blog/zine. I took a quick look at it and I've already seen a couple of very interesting articles I want to read more carefully. I'll be back... (why does this remind me of something? hmmm...) :)
Welcome aboard. Not unlike you, I too have returned, from the depths of bankruptcy no less, to battle my way back to my former position of importance. Or so I tell myself.
Hi, just stopping by to say hello and thanks for the friend request! Hope things are good in your corner of the world.

What ho all! Firstly, thanks for the add, and also thanks for the compliment CPSA! *salutes* That aside, this looks rather interesting, puts me in mind of some of the articles from Punch i have read, or a slightly older version of private eye. Ergo, i am rather pleased to be onboard! That aside, i am REALLY curious. Please, do explain how my gaping maw reminds you of this American psycho thing? I am certain it will be a tale worth telling! Yours, Jim
