Rudolf Těsnohlídek

He attended gymnasium in Hradec Králové and later started to study Czech, history and French at university in Prague but didn't graduate.

[1] Starting in 1908, he was a contributor to the Brno newspaper Lidové noviny, where he became a reporter of soudničky (cases from the local magistrate's court).

[1] His serialized novel Liška Bystrouška (Vixen Sharp Ears), written to accompany a series of drawings by Stanislav Lolek, appeared in the Lidové noviny between 7 April and 23 June 1920 [2] and is regarded as an early comic strip.

[5] Two day before Christmas 1919, Těsnohlídek and some friends were walking in the woods outside Bílovice nad Svitavou when they discovered an abandoned girl, aged seventeen months, in danger of freezing.

He became interested in exploring the Moravian caves, wrote extensively about them, and submitted his drafts for publication but found they had been heavily edited without his knowledge.
