Schwarz auf weiß

In the pages of the Austrian newspaper Die Presse, Schwarz auf weiß ran for 35 issues from 1955 to 1982, offering a long-running, single-panel comic that became a quiet fixture of the publication. Its simple, stark black-and-white style mirrored its title, delivering concise, often wry observations on everyday life and Viennese culture. While the artist(s) behind the strip remain unnamed in the available record, the series stands as a modest but enduring example of mid-century European newspaper cartooning, reflecting decades of social change through its consistent, minimalist lens.
