Konrad und Paul

In this short-lived but sharp German series from Carlsen Comics, writer-artist Ralf König follows the misadventures of two hapless slackers, Konrad and Paul, through everyday absurdity and social satire. Running from 1993 to 1997 across just three issues, the strip channels König’s signature blend of deadpan humor and keen observation, offering a wry snapshot of post-reunification German life. Though brief, it stands as a minor but distinctive entry in König’s celebrated body of queer and countercultural comics.
