Persons
Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz are comics artists who live and work in Saarbruecken, Germany. Pich and Kunz met at art school, and began their collaboration in 2011. What started out as a blog for silly doodles and nonsensical comics eventually turned into a weekly comic strip with an enthusiastic and rapidly growing fan base. War and Peas strips give a funny look at different types of situations, mostly dealing with unfulfilled desires, humans and technology, and generally have a sad twist ending. The authors write together and usually alternate drawing.
