Owen Seaman was born in Shrewsbury on September 18th, 1861. He was educated at Shrewsbury school and Clare College Cambridge. After graduating he was a school master and then a professor of literature. In 1894 his parody of Kipling 'Rhyme Of The Kipperling' was published in Punch magazine and that same year he published a volume of parodies - 'Horace At Cambridge' In 1897 he became a barrister at Inner Temple but was invited to join the staff at Punch, which he joined, rising to assistant editor in 1897 and editor in 1906. In 1914 he was knighted and thereafter his patriotism began to take hold and the following year, 1915, he a published a further book of poetry - 'War Time'. Never considered an outstanding poet he was none the less much admired. His editorship of Punch was quite remarkable as were several other books of parodies and the such. In 1933, he was created a baronet, of Bouverie Street in the City of London. Sir Owen Seaman, 1st Baronet, never married, and died on February 2nd, 1936 and was buried in Putney Vale Cemetery.

Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 146, March 11, 1914 by Owen Seaman The Admiralty has decided that, in the place of the grand manoeuvres this year, there shall be a surprise mobilisation.

Punch, Or the London Charivari, May 6, 1914
Punch, or the London Charivari, May 6, 1914 by Owen Seaman According to an official of the Imperial Japanese household, the poems composed by the late Dowager-Empress of Japan numbered 30,000. But these were never published, and the Empress died universally respected. A foolish hoax is said to have been perpetrated on the authorities at Dublin Castle. An anonymous communication informed them that a Dreadnought had been purchased by the Ulster loyalists, and would shortly make her appearance off the coast of Ireland disguised as an outrigger. Urgent instructions were in consequence issued to the coastguards not to be caught napping. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our...
Punch, Or the London Charivari, Volume 159, November 10, 1920
Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 159, November 10, 1920 by Owen Seaman Prize-Money. The really intriguing thing about Naval prize-money is the fact that no one knows exactly where it comes from. You don't win it by any definite act of superlative daring-I mean to say, you don't have to creep out under cover of darkness and return in the morning with an enemy battleship in tow to qualify for a modicum of this mysterious treasure. You just proceed serenely on your lawful occasions, confident in the knowledge that incredible sums of prize-money are piling themselves up for your ultimate benefit. I suppose the authorities understand all about it; nobody else does. One just lets it pile. It...
Punch, Or the London Charivari
Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 159, 1920-11-03 by Owen Seaman I let myself into my flat to find a young woman sitting on one of those comfortless chairs designed by upholsterers for persons of second quality who are bidden to wait in the hall. "You want to see me?" I inquired. "Yes; what is it?" "I have called, Madam, to ask if you are satisfied with your laundry." "Far from it," I said. "It is kind of you to ask, but why?" "Because I wish to solicit your custom for the laundry I represent." "What faults do you specialise in?" I inquired. "I beg your pardon, Madam?" "Will you send home my husband's collars with an edge like a dissipated saw?" The young woman's face brightened with comp...
