WuMo: Something Is Wrong

by Mikael Wulff, Anders Morgenthaler

The cartoon WuMo celebrates life's absurdity and bittersweet ironies, holding up a funhouse mirror to our modern world and those who live in it. Thanks to its delightful artwork and irreverent humor, this hilarious comic by writer Mikael Wulff and illustrator Anders Morgenthaler has grown from an underground sensation to one of the biggest and most popular strips in Europe.WuMo's inventiveness is reminiscent of their countryman Hans Christian Andersen--if Andersen's fairy tales had been populated by sadistic pandas, disgruntled office workers, crazy beavers, Albert Einstein, Snoop Dogg, and Darth Vader. Named WuMo, after the Danish duo’s last names, it appears in the largest papers in northern Europe, including Germany’s Die Welt, Denmark’s Politiken, and Norway’s Dagbladet.

This collection of strips is much more interesting than the ones that have been running in American newspapers. The two creators are definitely influenced by The Far Side and its other imitators. The strip has been running for some time in Europe and apparently with less editorial control. Some of the funniest strips would never have made it into an American newspaper these days.

2024 bk 60. A very enjoyable look at life in the 2020's from a European point of view. My sister recommended the book and I enjoyed laughing my way through the comics. If you need humor, give this book a chance.
