- ALT1a: ... that Martin Perscheid (pictured) published more than 4,300 comic strips under the title "Perscheids Abgründe" (Perscheid's abysses)? Source: [4] Grimes2 (talk) 13:52, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- ALT3: ... that Martin Perscheid (pictured) published more than 4,300 cartoons, exploring "abysses of sexism, racism, ignorance, corruption and stupidity"? Source: [5] and others --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:40, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- Not a review, but may I raise the issue that the subject is sitting in front of a cartoon, that cartoon is rather prominent, and it will probably be under copyright? As such, the cartoon will have to be blurred or the photo deleted from Commons. Schwede66 21:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- Sigh. You could crop to just the face. The character IS his main and recognizable creation, published in several thousand strips in leading German papers and books, repeated in all obits, explaining his style better than our poor words. - Sad --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- I blurred the cartoon character, it's still somewhat recognizable, please let me know if it's OK or if I should revert or crop. Hope it helps. Netherzone (talk) 03:05, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for trying, but I'd like to see (to probably prefer) a crop to his face for this purpose. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- I cropped the image to his face, this should be okay now. QPQ next! Regards SoWhy 08:14, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
QPQ done. Regards SoWhy 14:51, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Overall: 
Nom looks all good! Article was expanded 5x, properly sourced and neutral. No copyvio on Earwig except that one quote (which is properly attributed). Article appeared In The News, but only as a recent death and not as a bolded link. Photo is good, free and in the article. qpq is done. Hooks are cited and interesting (especially ALT3 which is more interesting than the usual "X made this many of Y"). BuySomeApples (talk) 21:59, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
