Doktor med. Bobo

Claire Bretécher’s Doktor med. Bobo is a sharp, two-issue German-language comic series published by Rowohlt in the mid-1980s, translating her signature satirical style for a new audience. The strip follows the pompous, self-absorbed psychiatrist Bobo as he bumbles through his practice, skewering the pretensions of the medical and intellectual classes with Bretécher's famously incisive linework and deadpan humor. Though brief, the series stands as a notable entry in the European humor tradition, capturing Bretécher at her most acerbic and proving that her character-driven mockery travels effortlessly across borders.
