Wie die Karnickel

Ralf König's long-running comic series Wie die Karnickel, launched by Rowohlt in 2003, follows a cast of characters navigating the often-comic chaos of love, sex, and relationships with a sharp, unflinching eye. Known for his distinctive, warmly expressive art and witty, dialogue-driven storytelling, König has been the sole writer and artist behind every installment. The series stands as a cornerstone of German-language queer comics, celebrated for its frank, humorous, and deeply human take on adult intimacy.
