Financial Times germany needed a comic strip for their friday issue to keep weekend readers entertained.

In cooperation with my old school mate Tillmann Prüfer we developed a crude-humoured, politically uncorrect cartoon strip series called “Rezession und Frohsinn” (“Recession and Happiness”) that i drew entirely on a palm pilot in 160x146 pixels which the readers enjoyed every weekend for about 7 years.  It was shortlisted for “Best cartoon in german language” by the german comic/cartoon “Max und Moritz” awards and also shortlisted in the illustrations category of the german art director’s club ADC.

The german cartoon publishing house Ehapa turned select strips later into a deluxe hardcover edition in a special super landscape format.
