We’re aware this might sound like one of those insufferable travel essays where someone discovers authentic gelato and suddenly they’re all Eat Pray Love, but let’s talk about Ljubljana:

This charming Slovenian capital where heraldic dragons guard bridges and the food operates on a new level of deliciousness, there exists a small festival that has earned a disproportionately large place in our hearts.

The festival in question: Tinta Stripa, which happens every October.

The itinerary went like this:

We opened our exhibition “Apocalypse Now” (Oct. 11-31), which sounds more horrible than it actually was. We participated in the market, where we sold out our entire inventory in two hours – two hours – which was either a testament to our work or evidence that Slovenians are the most impulsive comic buyers in Europe. And then we did an on-stage interview and comic reading in an abandoned cinema that’s been repurposed as a concert venue, which is exactly the kind of atmospheric detail that makes you wonder if someone’s deliberately staging your life for maximum aesthetic impact.

We loved every second of our stay. Watch the interview here:

The German comic duo War and Peas (Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz) and their recognisable characters have already attracted over a million readers worldwide. In a talk moderated by Izar Lunaček, they shared insights into the behind-the-scenes process of creating their webcomic series, how it has evolved over the years, and how they manage to pack an entire story into just four panels. As a special treat, they also performed live interpretations of some of their comics.

4-panel-comic by War and Peas Panel 1: A ghost sits on his bed, watching TV, holding a mug of hot cocoa with marshmallows. It says, "Ah, Fall is upon us. Hot cocoa with marshmallows." Panel 2: The ghost is cozily tucked into bed, while it's dark and rainy outside. A black cat is curled up beside it. The ghost thinks, "Slow Sundays with rain against your window." Panel 3: The ghost, floating above a man eating at a table, barfs ectoplasm onto his food just as he is about to take a bite. The caption reads, "Barfing ghost barf onto food the second before someone eats it." Panel 4: The ghost floats happily above a farmer's market, holding a basket of apples. The caption reads, "Farmer's Markets!" Stalls with pumpkins and other autumnal produce are visible in the background.

We’re doing something we usually don’t do by giving you a peek behind the curtains. This is the stuff our beautiful supporters usually get for keeping us financially viable enough to joking around.

Join the party and read the rest of the exclusive stories!

We definitely told our patrons this would stay exclusive, and now we’re essentially that friend who swears secrecy then immediately tells everybody your embarrassing story on the school yard. The guilt is consuming us like a shame-based brain worm. Our only chance is to make the next secret comics so hilarious that our supporters will forgive this betrayal – comedy so sharp it could perform its own appendectomy. Please don’t revoke our kneecaps!

Join the Party Now!
