Schwester Monika / Kurschwester Monika

Schwester Monika, also known as Kurschwester Monika, is a long-running East German comic strip from Eulenspiegel-Verlag, launched in 1978. Created by a team of satirists and cartoonists, the series follows the wry, everyday adventures of a no-nonsense nurse in a small hospital, blending gentle humor with subtle social commentary. Though its print run has been sparse—just one issue—its enduring presence in German comics history stems from its status as a beloved, quietly subversive fixture of the GDR's satirical landscape.
