Zeit, die Bilder schief zu hängen: Loriot ist tot...

Loriot alias Vico von Bülow

12.11.1923 - 22.08.2011

„Ein Leben ohne Mops ist möglich – aber sinnlos!“

German humorist Vicco von Buelow, often cited by Germans as proof of their sense of humor and known to the nation simply by his nom de plume, “Loriot,” has died. He was 87.

I admit it was with the help of Wum that I got to know Loriot

In the 50ies his cartoons about dogs and man in reversed roles caused widespread protest and forced the publishing tabloid Stern to stop the series

Irgendwann kam Reinhold das Nashorn
However, also in Stern, it was Reinhold the rhino who captivated for 17 years not only the attention of kids

Only to be topped by the famous Steinlaus

Frauen und Männer passen nicht zusammen...
Women and men simply don't match...

Oder doch nicht?
"Lousy times....", may be not....

Denn...

Ein Leben ohne Bär ist möglich, aber sinnlos....


We carry on and promise not to forget the pugs...

RIP, Loriot, and thank you so much for making us laugh even in lousy times...!
