Pippin der Nichtsnutz

Chrigel Farner’s Pippin der Nichtsnutz, launched by Edition Moderne in 2022, reimagines the classic fable of a feckless prince through a modern, deadpan comic lens. With Farner as the singular artistic voice across its debut issue, the series strips the fairy-tale archetype to its absurdist core, exploring themes of idleness and expectation with a gentle, witty touch. It matters as a fresh, independent European take on a timeless tale, showcasing how a single creator can revitalize a familiar story for a contemporary audience.
