Mr. Block is a comic from the early 1900s following someone that might seem eerily familiar, named Mr. Block. This comic was created by Ernest Riebe for the still running International Worker, a newspaper published by the Industrial Workers of the World. The IWW is an international syndicalist union who believe workers run the world. They have existed since 1909, with famous organizers like Mother Jones as founding members. While this community is focused on Mr. Block, all IWW comics are welcome!
