Klaus Oppitz: Saugfrast

We've all heard that during our childhood. And then it gets confusing. On one hand, you have to maintain appearances, while on the other hand, you shouldn't lie. Shouldn't the pastor at the funeral then tell the truth, that the deceased was actually a complete jerk? In general, has good behavior ever really brought us anything? While the well-behaved get at best a pat on the head, the scoundrels rule the world. And play golf in Florida every weekend. Or ride jet skis. On a freshly melted glacier.

Honestly, the puppet show only really got exciting when the clown showed up, and even today, in every crime story, the villains are more interesting, while the hero needs at least one alcohol problem, if not two, to keep up. And when Robert Heinrich I, Emperor of Austria, who wrote texts for Klaus Oppitz for years, advises his guests to "be a little good for once," it goes without saying that he is not good at all: Good. And has much more fun in life than his subjects.
