We’re back with our Author Questions series, where creators share the personal touches and hidden gems that bring their stories to life! Today, we’re spotlighting Benjamin Gottwald, author of BUZZ! BOOM! BANG! who reflects on a childhood favourite that still holds meaning today ⭐📚
For Benjamin, one of the first comics that really stuck with him was Petzi Baut Ein Schiff, or Builds a Ship by Carla & Vilhelm Hansen. It’s super simple but hilarious, with funny slapstick moments and characters you won’t forget — like a pelican who can pull literally anything out of its beak ⚓ Even now, he still loves reading it with his son.
Want to see how childhood reading can shape lifelong connections? Watch the full reel! ✨
