Yps

A revived version of the classic German humour magazine, Yps ran from 2012 to 2017 under Egmont Ehapa, bringing back the iconic yellow pages and its signature mix of comics, gags, and science features. With writers like Peter Höpfner, Norbert Hinze, and Peter Wiechmann at the helm, and frequent art by Michael Holtschulte, the series revived the beloved "Gimmick" tradition—each issue packed with a small toy or gadget—while offering new strips and satirical content for a modern audience. It matters as a spirited, short-lived resurrection of a cultural touchstone that reminded readers why the original Yps had been a staple of German pop culture for decades.
