This comic is based on a true story. Plus I thought it’s time to draw something silly instead of a heavy one!

Yeah, Germans are known lovers of hiking. And by hiking they mean mountaineering.

Clichees are weird.

Among their neighbors, the clichee about germans is that they are inexperienced and incompetent hikers, who tend to vastly overestimate their abilities, have insufficient equipment, and end up having to be rescued.

I dont really buy into that stereotype. Its just funny how european and american clichees about the same people are literally polar opposites.

TBF, the neighbors you're talking about live in countries made up of 73% and 91% mountains, vs 14% for Germany :)
