Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes one of Horst Eckert’s comics to show its uniqueness. At the moment when one of the heroes breaks completely out of the frame of the piece, its subsequent layers are deconstructed. The entire textual definition of the comic is verified. The comic strip, which is customarily taken as a low-grade genre, automatically raises questions about the functions of mediated education in people’s lives and needs, which are directed towards literature. Considering that the comic, which primarily engages the reader by means of visual cues, is very popular today and testifies to the pauperization of the written word, and the advantage of the image over the word, reading Janosch’s comic book, which indeed is not a comic book, leads to many bold conclusions about the social realms of literature
