Matthias Zschokke, Der Mann mit den zwei Augen: He has two eyes and a nose: that's about all the main character reveals about himself in Matthias Zschokke's novel. He seems unremarkable, but still it's impossible to overlook him. "I will be wearing a coat, sand-coloured, and in my left hand I will probably be holding a small, sandy-coloured suitcase. I am of average height, have averagelength sand-coloured hair, and on my right will be a woman, about a head shorter than me, and whom you might as well picture as sandy-coloured too. We can't miss each other." Although he works as a court reporter, the man with two eyes has a strong aversion to anything unusual. He clearly prefers things to be normal and ordinary – and it is in that very ordinariness that he discovers the unusual, the beautiful, the sad, and the comical. He finds it everywhere: in a café or on the street, whether he is meeting strangers or acquaintances, whether he is on the move or at home with his wife, whom he met and fell in love with years ago at choir practice. Funny or tragic? What may at first seem banal, on closer inspection reveals hidden depths of meaning. Both Matthias Zschokke's novel and his protagonist inhabit the two extremes. In his writing, Zschokke is a master of the twists and turns, placing events and characters under a bright light in which they lose their familiarity and become extraordinary.

Nicolas Robel, Le Tigre bleu: The comic «Le Tigre Bleu» won the Swiss Media Award for Young Audiences in 2003. Finally, it is also available in German, published not by a seasoned picture book publisher but as a SJW magazine (Swiss Youth Scriptures). While the format is smaller than the original French version, the story of little Paul, who often feels lonely because his single mother has to work and he has to share his fears and worries with his stuffed animals and finger puppets, loses nothing of its density and sensuality. Robel stays close to his protagonist, shows what powers he has over his environment and what makes him feel powerless by changing perspectives and background colours, lets us comprehend how Paul counts on his puppet friends and what a big step it is for him to let his neighbour Katja take part in his games. That Paul’s mother supports her son in this ripening process, sees through his puppeteering and still takes him seriously, is a further strength of the story. There aren’t many convincing comics for children up to the age of eight. «The Blue Tiger» is one of them.
