The most forbidden magazine in Germany: Der Spiegel. When TITANIC was founded in 1979 by Robert Gernhardt, Peter Knorr, Chlodwig Poth, Hans Traxler, and F. K. Waechter, it was believed that it would last at best three years. New forces emerging, hopeless young satirists from the provinces, and other total failures would surely bring the magazine to its demise. However, all subsequent generations have failed in this project. To the astonishment of its founders, TITANIC has proven to be unsinkable. This book not only collects the best stories, cartoons, and photo jokes from thirty years – from the colored pencil sucker on "Wetten, dass..?" to "Genschman" and "Zonen-Gaby," up to the picnic basket that lured the 2006 World Cup to the country – but also numerous unpublished original contributions. A must-have for all fans.
