Gunnar Mengele

Gunnar Mengele is a recurring comedic character from Patrik Norrman's Swedish humor comic Bacon & Ägg, where he shares the absurdist world with characters like Lilleman and Gammelman, also crossing over into the sister title Herman Hedning.

A product of the Swedish comics scene, Gunnar Mengele made his entrance in 1997 through Patrik Norrman's Bacon & Ägg, published by Egmont, and went on to pop up across the pages of Herman Hedning as well — two titles that together represent some of the most beloved Scandinavian humor comics of the Copper and Modern Age. Over a span of roughly fourteen years, this character kept lively company with the likes of Lilleman, Gammelman, Herman, Bacon, and Egg — a cast that signals the wonderfully offbeat comedic world he inhabits. With only nine catalogued appearances he's a genuine rarity, the kind of deep-cut find that makes digging through Nordic comics back-issues so rewarding for the dedicated collector.
