Moers’ Adolf Upsets In New Medium

The Bunker, an animated version of German cartoonist Walter Moers' 1998 comic strips about Adolf Hitler hanging out in his underground headquarters, playing with his dogs and singing on the toilet, has generated criticism from those that believe Hitler isn't someone who should be the subject for parody and crude humor. You can find a press report from the comics end of things here. The print iteration of the concept (Adolf, I'm Back) was perhaps best known for criticism from the other end of the spectrum, in the form death threats aimed at Moers from Neo-Nazis. Supposedly, a customized cell-phone ring is available as well.

For a completely different comics' take on that historical period, try this lengthy profile of Miriam Katin's We Are On Our Own.
