Den universella bristen på respekt

A single-issue comic from 1999, published by Ordfront Galago, Den universella bristen på respekt is a concentrated dose of Joakim Pirinen’s signature, off-kilter worldview. Written and drawn entirely by Pirinen, the work distills his distinctive, often absurdist sensibility into a standalone statement. Its very existence marks a sharp, self-contained moment in the long-running career of one of Sweden’s most idiosyncratic comic artists.
