In her comics, Katharina Greve tells stories about children who don't conform, but instead think for themselves, speak up, and go their own way. Her works are on display at the Museum Wilhelm Busch through August 23.
Katharina Greve, The Fat Princess Petronia
Smart, dry and headstrong: Katharina Greve's comics are about children who don't conform, but think, disagree and go their own way. With sharp humor and precise observation, she dissects social role models in a light-footed, pointed and contemporary way.
In *Princess Petronia*, the focus is on the grumpy, science-loving cousin of the Little Prince, one of the most famous characters in world literature. Instead of poetic wisdom, she relies on logic, skepticism, and irony—and radically challenges familiar myths about beauty, meaning, and expectations. A character who steps out of the shadows and confidently takes a stand.
"My Stories of Mother and Daughter" is the female answer to the classic comic "Father and Son" by e.o.plauen. Greve tells of the everyday life of a mother-daughter duo. Sometimes turbulent, sometimes tender, always with humor and a pinch of anarchy.
