This article looks at the popularity of famous cartoon characters in Polish satirical magazines of the interwar period from the point of view of statistics. The source material consists of twenty annual volumes of seven very different periodicals dedicated to satire and humour. They are Szczutka (A Fillip), Muchy (Flies), Cyrulik Warszawski (The Warsaw Barber), Wróble na dachu (Sparrows on the Roof), Szpilki (Pins), Pręgierz Poznański (The Poznań Pillory) and Pokrzywy (Nettles). The analysis, ie. a statistical count, has produced a ranking list of famous personalities most popular with the cartoonists.
