„Mögen hätt ich schon wollen, aber dürfen hab ich mich nicht getraut!“
Karl Valentin

Karl Valentin (Valentin Ludwig Fey), 4 June 1882, Munich – 9 February 1948, Planegg, was a Bavarian comedian, cabaret performer, clown, author and film producer. He had significant influence on German Weimar culture. Valentin starred in many silent films in the 1920s, and was sometimes called the „Charlie Chaplin of Germany“ [Michael Glasmeier, Karl Valentin: Der Komiker und die Künste (Munich: Carl Hanser Verlag, 1987, p. 37)]

Caricaturist Franziska Bilek immortalized his unique silhouette (poster lower left corner, but mirrored displayed).
