Klassiker der DDR-Bildgeschichte #17

Part of Holzhof Comics' charming "Klassiker der DDR-Bildgeschichte" reprint series, this seventeenth volume spotlights the comic strip duo Spaß mit Oli & Archibald by Horst Alisch. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a red-nosed, cue-wielding fellow faces off at the billiard table against his canine companion Archibald, balls flying mid-chaos in classic slapstick fashion. A delightful slice of East German comic heritage, presented here in a 2009 edition that makes these beloved strips accessible all over again.
