Alte Liebe rostet nicht

Erich Rauschenbach’s long-running gag strip for Lappan, Alte Liebe rostet nicht (roughly “Old Love Never Rusts”), has been a single-issue fixture since 2005, offering a warm, wry look at the enduring quirks and quiet comedy of a long-term relationship. Rauschenbach’s gentle, observational humor and clean linework capture the affectionate bickering and shared routines that define a partnership weathered by time. While brief in its run, this series stands as a charming, understated tribute to the idea that love, like a well-maintained classic, only gets better with age.
