Das Katastrophenbuch

Chlodwig Poth’s wry, observational humor drives Das Katastrophenbuch, a two-issue comic series from S. Fischer Verlag that launched in 1990. Poth, the series’ most frequent artist, uses the format to catalog everyday absurdities and minor calamities with a sharp, satirical eye. Though brief in its run, the series stands as a pointed, characteristically German reflection on modern life’s small-scale disasters.
