Walter Moers in Erlangen: When fantasy, humor, and drawing collide

At the Erlangen City Museum, an exhibition titled What's there to laugh about? The comedic art of Walter Moers awaits all those who love wit, comic art, and fine satire. Walter Moers is considered one of the most original storytellers of contemporary German literature; the exhibit showcases his comedic side as well as his fantasy worlds around Zamonien.

Between Captain Bluebear, Zamonien, and dark humor

Moers has created characters that have long achieved cult status: from Captain Bluebear to the Little Arsehole to the grand Zamonien novels. The exhibition spans from early comics around 1990 to the multi-layered novels in which verbal wit and artistic fantasy go hand in hand. This creates not a dry museum piece, but a small laughter experience with literary substance.

Comedy with timing, attitude, and recognition value

Moers' work thrives on punchlines, shifts in perspective, and a stage presence on paper that is rarely seen. Those who love stand-up will recognize the mechanics of good jokes here: precise timing, surprising twists, and a clear attitude. That is exactly what makes the charm of this exhibition: it shows how comics, cabaret, and literature can ignite each other.
