Rolf Kauka

Rolf Kauka was a German comic artist, most famous for the series Fix and Foxi. In 1951, Rolf Kauka founded Kauka Publishing. Aside from Rolf Kauka's original comic characters, Kauka Publishing introduced to German audiences such international series as Asterix and The Smurfs from France and Belgium. Some characters received Germanized names, for instance, Spirou& Fantasio/ Pit& Pikkolo, Gaston Lagaffe/ Jojo, etc. Kauka's translation of Asterix, called Siggi und Barbarras, controversially included far-right and Nazi revisionist subtexts, such as Anti-Americanism, Anti-Communism and Holocaust denial.
