Geh doch!

Claire Bretécher’s Geh doch!, a single 1987 issue from Elefanten Press, collects her sharp, satirical one-page strips originally published in the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur. With her signature fluid, expressive linework and deadpan humor, Bretécher skewers the pretensions and anxieties of the French intellectual and professional classes. This German-language edition serves as a compact entry point to the work of one of Europe’s most celebrated cartoonists, showcasing the incisive social commentary that made her a defining voice in 1970s and ’80s bande dessinée.
