Münchener Prentenboek, 1. jaargang, Nr. 9. Pierette’s Avonturen (1921)

This film is a fine example of Seel’s saucy humour and his novel style, combining live-action and animation techniques, similar to Max Fleischer’s work in the US. When Pierette pours the contents of the artist’s pot of ink over herself at the end, the film seems to be spoofing Fleischer’s Out of the Inkwell series, which invariably ended with the animated clown Koko vanishing into the bottle.
