Yps (Magazine) | comment |
Yps was a German magazine for kids which published a number of syndicated comics (both American and Franco-Belgian ones) plus some homebrewed ones (see below). During the earlier years, they also brought articles about science and technics. The real reason the magazine became famous was a different one: The gimmick (not The Gimmick), some toy readers could build by themselves, or something similar. Yps & co: Four Funny Animals living together in a house: The mouse Kaspar, the frog Patsch, the canary Willy and the eponymous checkered kangaroo Yps. Not to the joy of their square neighbor Waldig. Each magazine contains a one-pager where they present the gimmick of the week. Yinni & Yan aka The Yps-Team: Four young journalists making TV reportages and getting involved in adventures and other hijinks. Consists of Yinni at the microphone, her boyfriend cameraman Yan, Yorick who's responsible for the sound, and their coworker Yack, who mostly stays in the studio. Gespenster GmbH ("ghosts inc."): A family of ghosts spooking on a castle. The realtor owning the castle wants to get rid of them, while the old gardener is at their side. Professor Ypsus: Ranging between Absent-Minded Professor and Mad Scientist. Then, there are also his colleagues Schwyps and Gryps. Bens Bande (Ben's gang): A group of four kids (and a raven) around Ben, who's really the son of a noble family, in a small German city. Mister Melone: A short Italian guy in Chicago and his big grandma versus the mafia. Gries, Gram & Grimm: Three grumpy old men in the Stone Age. Various historical comics, like Thomas der Trommler (a count's son during the Thirty Years' War is forced to join the army of general Tilly - who is responsible for the death of his parents).Syndicated comics: Pif und Herkules (Pif le chien / Spiff and Hercules), from the French magazine Pif Gadget. Pif (a dog) and Herkules (a stray cat) are buddies who stay together even if they often have a fight. Piffi (Pifou), also from Pif Gadget. Piffi is a small dog living together with the bulldog Brutus, who is the Straight Man (and sometimes Butt-Monkey) in their short, gag-based strips. Robin Dubois, a Robin Hood parody Several adaptations of famous stories as comics, like Baron Münchhausen, Aladdin, Tom Sawyer, drawn by Chiqui Lucky Luke Asterix Iznogoud Marsupilami Animal Crackers (towards the beginning) Dennis the Menace (US) (towards the end) Garfield (towards the end) | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Idi Amok reminds of Idi Amin (natch), but also of Bokassa (he wants to become emperor of his country). | |
