Schöner Leben mit dem kleinen Arschloch

Walter Moers’s Schöner Leben mit dem kleinen Arschloch (1995–present, Eichborn) is a German comic series that follows the irreverent, foul-mouthed adventures of its titular child protagonist. Spanning just four issues, this satirical strip lampoons bourgeois conventions and social niceties with Moers’s trademark dark humor and minimalist, expressive art. While short-lived, the series became a cultural touchstone in 1990s Germany for its unapologetic, boundary-pushing take on childhood innocence—or the lack thereof.
