About the series
Jean Effel's whimsical retelling of the Book of Genesis, Heitere Schöpfungsgeschichte für fröhliche Erdenbürger, was published as a single issue by Rowohlt in 1965, with reprints extending its life through 1985. A warm, lighthearted take on the creation story, it showcases Effel's signature cartooning style—playful, irreverent, and full of gentle humor. This comic stands as a charming example of European humanist satire, offering a joyful alternative to more solemn biblical interpretations.
