Konrad und Paul

In this concise, three-issue German comic series from Carlsen Comics (2004–2005), celebrated cartoonist Ralf König brings his signature blend of warm, bawdy humor to the everyday misadventures of two friends, Konrad and Paul. Known for his sharp, affectionate takes on queer life and human foibles, König crafts a slice-of-life story that’s both specific in its characters and universal in its comedy. Though brief, the series stands as a charming, self-contained example of König’s enduring talent for finding laughter in the mundane.
