''Schindelschwinger'' (or ''Schindel-Schwinger'') is a German 5-volume comicbook series from 1975-77, written by Peter-Torsten Schulz and drawn by Michael Ryba.
The [[Backstory]]: In the beginning, [[God]] created the world (apparently, with a literal finger snap). With his work done, he took a deep swig of his favorite drink and fell asleep -- next to the clay pit where he had formed the animals (including man) of Earth. In the aforesaid clay pit, the "prototypes" he had made before he had formed the real <s>things</s> beings were still lying around. When his breath fell upon them, they came to life and scurried away the very same night.
When God saw this in the morning, he wanted his prototypes back (because otherwise, people could get a wrong impression of him) and thus told his sons, Saint Peter and [[Satan|Lucifer]] (wait, ''sons''? And where's that [[Jesus]] guy gone?), that the one who'd bring the prototypes back would rule the Earth. So they started to search, which took several years (off-panel). Meanwhile, the prototypes had settled in a nice valley, founding the city of Flohheim ("Flea-home"); Lucifer and his red devils settled in a volcano next door, while Saint Peter and his blue(ish) angels built a skyscraper on the opposite side.
Line 14:
* [[Author Guest Spot]]: In the first album, they interact with the characters and even have a small b-plot. In the second one, it's just a short cameo. Later, they don't appear at all anymore.
* [[The Big Guy]]: Schindel-Schwinger (although he prefers to think of himself as [[The Hero]]).
* [[Brats
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: The comic (leaving aside the backstory) starts with the prototypes exclaiming "he's coming!" and welcoming the reader at the next page.
* [[By the Lights of Their Eyes]]: Where we are reminded that Pinke-Po has coins instead of eyes.
* [[Camp Gay]]: Musen-Rüssel, who's [[Always Camp|a theatre actor]]. And gets paired during the story with a [[
* [[Can't Have Sex Ever]]: The angels, probably. (Although they still can be aroused.) Saint Peter even says that being able to control weather is better than anything a woman could give him.
* [[Catgirl]]: The non-human half of the female prototypes. More like [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] than anime-style cat girls, but probably it is no coincidence that there are only female cats.
Line 28:
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Schmuse-Tatze
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]]: Dito. Well, [[Just a Stupid Accent|she has a French accent.]]
* [[Everything's Worse
* [[Fan Service]]: Most of the female prototypes and some of the female devils are cute (in the former case) or very sexy (the latter).
* [[Fantastic Caste System]]: Every Biber-Backe is a menial worker. Every Trommel-Ohr is a musician. And so on. Exception: Every Brems-Pläte is either a doctor or an elementary school teacher.
Line 42:
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Schindel-Schwinger is close to this.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Used by one devil [[It Makes Sense in Context|to make the prototypes join his test for washing powder]]:

Female prototype: "Nope, that's blue!"
Devil: "Aahh, you see it too!" }}
* [[Kavorka Man]]: Schindel-Schwinger has a horse's head with long blond hair, a human-sized lizard body (with big scales), but manages to seduce many female devils.
