Pipifax

A short-lived but charming German comic strip from the late 1880s, Pipifax ran for 26 issues under the pen of Berthold Guttmann. Published during the early, experimental era of European comics, it stands as a notable example of the medium's formative years in Germany. While details of its specific adventures are scarce, its very existence highlights the burgeoning popularity of sequential art in the pre-20th-century press.
