History
As the editor-in-chief of Rogach, Peter Ban, said in the introduction to the book “Fishing in Pajamas” [1] , the first issue of the magazine was published on April 1, 1948 - “immediately after the February Revolution of 1948, in which the Czechoslovak working people defeated the forces of reaction ". Comedians and cartoonists gathered in the new magazine, including Viktor Kubal , Bozena Gayduchikova-Plokhanova , Klara Yarunkova, Peter Petishka, Tomash Yanovich, Peter Goshshany and others.
According to the memoirs of the aphorist Milan Kupetski, in 1958 the magazine passed under the wing of the Pravda publishing house and began to appear in 100,000 copies. The same circulation was preserved during normalization [2] . The magazine published not only stories, jokes (for example, the headings 12 do tucta (“Twelve in the Top Ten”) and Čitateľska anekdotareň (“Reader's Jokes”); the best jokes from readers were awarded prizes) and cartoons, but also comics about spouses Bill and Mary (author Bozhena Plohanova), “Jozhinko is the child of his parents” (author Joseph Shek) and others.
According to Milan Kupetzky, “the then communist leadership called Rogach a magazine that identifies shortcomings in economic and social life, bourgeois prejudices in the minds of people and wages an effective struggle against them” [2] . On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the journal, the president of Czechoslovakia awarded the journal staff with the Order for Outstanding Work [1] .
Like other humorous magazines of the socialist countries, Rogach was also sold in the USSR - according to Peter Ban, he "during his trips to the Soviet Union <...> saw Rogach in newsstands thousands of kilometers from his editorial office in Bratislava."
In 1988, the collection “Crocodile Library” published a collection “Fishing in pajamas”, which collected stories, aphorisms and caricatures of the authors of Rogach [3] .
The magazine’s materials, as the former pan-host ( Alexander Belyavsky ) told the popular TV show Zucchini 13 Chairs , were used in this TV show, for example, Pan Vladek was taken from there [4] .
In the early 1990s, the magazine ceased to exist.
