Line 4:
It started out as a comic strip in various magazines. The strips have been collected in several anthology comic books.
 
Has a very good (German) homepage [httphttps://www.peter-puck.de here].

Not to be confused with the Irish punk rock band of the same name.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Heinz
* [[The Big Guy]]: Their buddy Bully, who's a skinhead (not of the nazi kind, though).
Line 17 ⟶ 19:
* [[The Cult]]: They end up on a Silvester party by them, and find out that collective suicide is due.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Rudi, oh so much. His sister also has this somewhat: When Rudi reprimands her for wearing a sexy [[Little Black Dress]], so all the guys on the street are staring at her:
{{quote| Vicky: "Don't like it? Sorry, but my burqa is being dry-cleaned..."}}
* [[A Degree in Useless]]: Two strippers Freddy hired for Rudi's birthday. One of them studies humanities - and still hopes to make big money in her line of work.
* [[Did the Earth Move For You, Too?]]: Used with a couple in a background gag who have sex when a real earthquake strikes.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]
* [[Dirty Old Woman]]
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Rudi and Freddy do this to visit a silvester party organized by a group of [[Straw Feminist|Straw Feminists]]s. It doesn't end well.
* [[Eat the Dog]]: After being badly bitten by a dog, Rudi buys a Korean cookbook and invites the owner and his dog for "dinner", while preparing everything.
** And during the war, Rudi's grandma and her family ate the cat when nothing else was left.
Line 39 ⟶ 41:
* [[The Ingenue]]: Alfi is enthusiastic about "digging the scene!!!", while Rudi is as cynical as possible.
* [[In Vino Veritas]]: Some cute song birds start sieg-heiling, picking fights and generally acting like most obnoxious drunks after drinking beer.
<!-- %%* IThoughtItWasACostumeParty: With a twist. In a one-shot gag, some people want to go to a party, arrive at the wrong address, mistaking [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels the McDevil Cocks]] for a costume party. -->
<!-- %%--> Guy: "[[FamousLastWords Hey, ladies! You really look like mean moped assholes!]]" -->
* [[Kavorka Man]]: Cousin Alfi is a kind of country bumpkin, but has success with the ladies. The fact that he saves one woman, White Knight-style, from a drug dealer who wants to cut up her face probably helped.
* [[Limited Social Circle]]: At the beginning Rudi used to meet many different friends, but later his social circle shrunk to Freddy, Bully and Heinz. And the [[Girl of the Week]].
Line 48:
* [[Only One Name]]: His last name, if he has one at all, is never revealed. Even his doctor only calls him "''Herr''... er... Rudi".
* [[Playful Hacker]]: Freddy isn't really a computer expert (he even talks about the "[[Binary Bits and Bytes|kilojoule]]" of his computer), but still manages to hack the Russian army computers.
* [[Useful Notes/Punk]]: Punks often appear in the comic. Heinz is the most prominent one.
* [[Racist Grandma]]: Rudi's.
* [[Reincarnation]]: Rudi once gets hypno-treatment (from a quack) and "remembers" that his back pain comes from an earlier life when he was crucified at the same time/place as [[Jesus]].
Line 55:
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Rather on the cynical side.
* [[Soapbox Sadie]] / [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: Parodied with a group which protests the inhuman killing of ''vegetables''.
* [[Talking Animal]]: Apparently ants and slugs not only are this, but are also organized like a fascist state and actively planning to bring down human society. Especially, eat all their food. In other words, not only [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] in this comic.
* [[Think Unsexy Thoughts]]: Rudi does this one time at a nude beach. Problem is that everything he tries to think of only makes him more horny. ("Square root of 4761 makes... 69! Shit, maths is too perverted!") Then, when he finally manages to get his [[Raging Stiffie]] under control (by thinking about cancer) - a pissed-of wasp stings him several times in a male body part, making things even worse.
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Probably.
