Reinhold das Nashorn

Loriot's Reinhold das Nashorn began in 1954 as a single-issue comic from Bertelsmann, introducing a gentle, whimsical rhino character that became a beloved fixture in German children's culture. Though brief in its original comic run, the series is defined entirely by Loriot's distinctive, deadpan humor and clean, expressive linework. Its enduring charm lies in how it established Loriot's signature blend of absurdity and warmth, making it a foundational work in his legendary career.
