''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 17:
* [[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.
