The Katzenjammer Kids

A charmingly chaotic reprint series from NZ Transfer Co., The Katzenjammer Kids (1940–present) preserves the classic newspaper strip’s anarchic humor for a new audience. Though it produced no original issues, this long-running collection ensures the enduring mischief of Hans and Fritz—and their long-suffering targets, the Captain and the Inspector—remains in print. Its significance lies in keeping one of comics' earliest and most influential gag strips, a direct descendant of the medium’s formative years, continuously available to readers.
