Fix & Foxi

Comics - from our Unknown Germany series.

Two amiable, twin foxes were the main characters in Germany's most successful comic book series, published between 1953 and 1994. They were curious, funny, well rounded  protagonists.

One of the lesser known facts around the comics out Mr. Kauka's publishing house is that the graphic artists who created them were a diverse international team with largely southern European background.

Have a look the Wiki KaukaPedia, named after the creator of the fox brothers, Ralf Kauka. Or check out the website Kauka Promedia.

Both are in German, but you get to see the characters!

Fix & Foxi never made it to the United States in comics but according to the Wiki, they were on American chewing gum wrappers for a short time in the 1970s, with their names anglicized to Fix & Foxy.

In case you are learning German. there is an idiomatic colloquial expression, to be "fix und foxi", to be exhausted, or groggy.
