Croatian blends in the 1980s (Feral’s first 10 years)

A report is put together on the unreported corpus of Croatian blends collected from the first ten annual files of the satirical weekly Feral or Feral Tribune, and their basic formal characteristics are expounded. Three findings are brought forward. Firstly, blends were rare in Feral until 1989, when they became very frequent, and equal in form and content to blends in subsequent Feral Tribune. Secondly, in the 1980s there were more blends in the weekly Nedjeljna Dalmacija than in Feral, which was a supplement to Nedjeljna Dalmacija ; this gives us a better idea of the general pulse of Croatian blending in the 1980s. Thirdly, comics author Ivica Bednjanec remains, as far as we know, the most prolific blend-maker of the decade.
