Yps Pif Pocket

A compact, 15-issue series from German publisher Gruner + Jahr, Yps Pif Pocket (1980–1982) collected gag strips and adventure serials from the popular French weekly Pif Gadget for a German-speaking audience. The title combined the established Yps brand with the imported French star character Pif the dog, offering a pocket-sized anthology of European humor and action. It served as a brief bridge between two major continental comic traditions, showcasing the work of artists like José Cabrero Arnal and Jean-Claude Poiré during a period of cross-cultural publishing.
