Wacky - the book tip

After the Covid-19 pandemic, society's reluctance to move around is a thing of the past. Society is now starting its everyday hectic on the streets again with motorized vehicles of all types of fuel and drive technologies. The sight of almost empty streets is a thing of the past, as is the risk of contagion. The emission-free city centers, including the generous infrastructure that remains free of vehicles, is history again. A few new trends such as the pedelec could possibly develop. New approaches, on the other hand, are rare, people are relying on more individualization. Well-known cartoonists have taken a close look at the current trends in the varied illustrated book "Abgefahren".

About the book

The Covid-19 virus is turning our social life and entire branches of industry upside down. Today, Tuesday, the Chancellor invites you to the car summit under the watchful eyes of environmentalists. Nothing less than the future of the automotive industry is being discussed. The turnaround in traffic, scrapping bonuses, and electric cars are the buzzwords of the hour. The right moment to ask the question: Quo vadis, mobility?

The cartoon book “Abgefahren! Cartoons on Mobility ”, published on April 30, 2020, answers the questions that move us in the course of the traffic turnaround: Will a“ dream ship ”ban on broadcasting help stop climate change? Is the common parking space threatened with extinction? Is nuclear power considered doping for e-bikes? Will there soon be a no-shame class in airplanes, and what is the carbon footprint of an ascension?

35 well-known cartoonists - including Katharina Greve, Hauck & Bauer, Michael Holtschulte, Til Mette, Martin Perscheid and Klaus Stuttmann - provide answers in “Abgefahren! Cartoons on Mobility ”. The exhibition on the book, which would have opened on May 9, 2020 in the Caricatura - Museum for Comic Art in Kassel, had to be canceled due to the corona pandemic. This does not detract from the topicality of the topic. Against the background of the corona pandemic, advancing climate change and the goal of the traffic turnaround, we have to ask the question: How do we want to get around in the future?
