Pillhuhn is a comic figure that was created in 1969 by the Hamburg advertising salesman Clemens Krauss.

Release history

Initially, Pillhuhn was published as a “comic with a stupid saying” for over ten years in the program magazine Hörzu , then as a comic strip in Bild am Sonntag , Mach mal Pause , Novelwoche and various regional daily newspapers as well as in the youth magazine Pop / Rocky . The highlight was a comic magazine called "Pillhuhn", published in 1988 by Bastei-Verlag .

Due to the success of the figure in the 1970s, Interpill Media GmbH, a company based on the figure's name, was founded in Hamburg, which has since taken care of the marketing of the pill chicken together with its creator. Among other things, there are chewing gum, T-shirts and sweat-shirts, stickers, bed linen, plush figures and a wide range of stationery items with cards, wrapping paper and calendars.
