With 13 postcard designs he finally looked for a publisher. At Depesche Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG in Geesthacht , a series of 48 postcards came onto the market in early 1991. In 1992 folding cards, Christmas cards and calendars followed.

Diddlina, Pimboli, Mimihopps, Ackaturbo, Professor Diddldaddl Blubberpeng, The Frog-Brothers, Merksmir Lettermampf, Galupy, Bibombl, Milimits and Tiplitaps. The characters became known primarily through the numerous merchandising and trend items that are manufactured and sold in the Diddl workshop.
