Cartoon strip satirists Carr and Kumar metamorphose last century's most hated figure with the contemporary twit known as the Hipster. The notorious, irreverent strip reveals how today's subculture personalities fetishise the authentic to create a new variety of conformism. For the first time, the strip appears here in print.
Using a combination of puns, parody, dark humour and visual gags, the exploits of the Third Reich and the activities of the everyday Hipster are lampooned in a knowing fashion. The online strip has garnered huge numbers of fans with an acerbic deconstruction of the hipster urban tribe. Includes clever details such as T-shirt slogans proclaiming 1941: a race odyssey and a Fuhrer who berates his compatriots for trying too hard in the Olympic Games.
