The Pichelsteiner
The Pichelsteiner is a German comic series , published by Kauka Verlag from 1966 to 1974. The series was invented and drawn by Riccardo Rinaldi . The name is derived from a stew dish and was chosen at the suggestion of Monika Achtelik, editor of Lupo modern .
The first story appeared in Lupo modern No. 19/1966, the last (published by Kauka Verlag) in 1974 in Fix and Foxi Extra No. 28. In between, however, most of the episodes appeared in Primo . Another episode was published in 1976 in Zack Parade No. 16 by Koralle Verlag .
It tells the humorous adventures of a Stone Age family (Grandpa Archibald, the strong brothers Neo and Theo, the beautiful Petra and the small and clever Flint), who have to deal with a sometimes anachronistic animal world (dinosaurs).
The series was designed as a replacement for Siggi and Babarras , the first very free German translation of Asterix , after Kauka had the rights to this series withdrawn. Consequently, The Pichelsteiners were introduced to the readers as the ancestors of Siggi and Babarras.
In 1988 the series for Fix and Foxi should be reactivated, but a dispute over copyright between Rolf Kauka and Riccardo Rinaldi prevented this.
