Fred und sein Sohn #[nn]

Ernst Volland's warmly observed Bildgeschichten collection captures the everyday friction between generations with disarming simplicity. The cover strip itself says it all: a cap-wearing son and his armchair-bound father negotiate — with escalating comic logic — the great moped debate, all rendered in Volland's clean, expressive line work across four panels framed by a television set that watches the whole argument unfold. Published by Rowohlt's rotfuchs imprint in 1978, this is gentle, knowing humor about family life that feels immediately familiar.
