Wahre Geschichten

Loriot’s Wahre Geschichten (1959–present) is a single-issue comic from Diogenes Verlag that distills the master humorist’s keen eye for everyday absurdity into a series of sharp, understated vignettes. As the artist most associated with the book, Loriot’s deadpan visual wit and precise social observation make this a quiet landmark in German-language comics—a small, perfectly formed snapshot of mid-century mores that still feels startlingly fresh.
