Was fehlt uns denn?

Nicolas Mahler’s Was fehlt uns denn? (2011–present, Edition Moderne) is a single-issue comic that distills the artist’s signature deadpan, minimalist style into a wry, existential query. Known for his spare linework and dry humor, Mahler presents a series of vignettes that probe everyday anxieties and absurdities. This concise, quietly incisive work stands as a sharp example of contemporary European cartooning from a singular voice.
