Gestern war er wieder im Fernsehen: Der Film ‚7 Jahre in Tibet‘ mit Brad Pitt. Er spielt dort die historische Figur des Bergsteigers Heinrich Harrer, der 7 Jahre lang an der Seite des damals noch jungen Dalai Lama war und ein Freund und Lehrer für ihn wurde. Viele haben wohl erst durch diesen Film mehr über die Geschichte Tibets und seines geistlichen Oberhaupts erfahren, ging mir auch so. Klar jeder kennt ihn, den stets freundlichen Mann mit der Brille und dem rot-gelben Gewand, ein Arm ist immer frei, oft hält er die Fingerspitzen wie zum Gebet zusammen. Friedensnobelpreisträger, weltweit wie ein Popstar verehrt und gezwungenermaßen im Exil lebend. Am Sonntag ist er 90 Jahre alt geworden. Doch wie war das eigentlich damals, als er - ein Kleinkind noch - auserwählt wurde, von seiner Familie getrennt und in einem längeren Prozess zum neuen Dalai Lama erkoren? Schon als Jugendlicher dann auch politisches Oberhaupt in schwierigen Zeiten? Friedensliebend, aus dem Mitgefühl handelnd musste er doch 1959 die brutale Invasion Chinas in sein Land erleben und nach Indien fliehen. Wie etwa 80.000 bis 100.000 weitere Tibeter. Doch bis heute hat seine Stimme Gewicht, wird er weltweit verehrt. Seine Lebensgeschichte ist jetzt als Graphic Novel erschienen. Ein richtiges Buch, detailreich und eindrucksvoll gezeichnet, keines das man an einem Abend durch hat. Vielleicht auch für jüngere Menschen eine spannende Möglichkeit, in die Geschichte Tibets einzutauchen, das ja auch aktuell weiter von China unter Druck gesetzt wird. Geschichte und Gegenwart und Spiritualität begegnen sich in ‚Das Leben des Dalai Lama – die offizielle Graphic Novel‘ von Tom Taylor und Matyáš Namai - erschienen bei Knesebeck. Autorisiert übrigens von seiner Heiligkeit persönlich! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We also cover the new first issue of Captain America by Zdarsky, Schiti and company and “Birthday” from Action Comics 1087 by Waid, Patridge and company. And we manage to throw in comic talk on DC's use of legacy characters, Marvel's sliding timescale and more! (1:41:00)

Dunkle Sonnenbrille, langes weißes Haar zum Zopf gebunden, hoher Stehkragen: Modezar Karl Lagerfeld liebte die Selbstdarstellung. Für das FAZ-Magazin kommentierte er bis zu seinem Tod 2019 in einer Karikaturen-Serie das Weltgeschehen. Sein Nachfolger, der Comic-Künstler Simon Schwartz, hat jetzt mit „Lagerfeld“ eine sehr gelungene Graphic Novel über das Lebens des Stardesigners herausgebracht.

Ulli Lust hat sich schon in ihren früheren Comics und Graphic Novels mit Frauenbildern und Geschlechterrollen auseinandergesetzt. In ihrem Comic "Die Frau als Mensch" geht sie zurück an die Anfänge der Geschichte. Bei ihren Recherchen fand sie Gleichberechtigung zwischen den Geschlechtern, Höhlenmalereien und Statuetten von selbstbewussten Frauen mit ausladenden Brüsten und sichtbarer Vagina, Fürsorge und Kooperation statt Krieg und Aggression. Gerade hat sie für ihren Band den Deutschen Sachbuchpreis bekommen. Nadine hat Ulli Lust in ihrem Arbeits- und Schlafzimmer besucht, in ihrem Zuhause zwischen Zeichenbrett und Matratze. Warum Ulli Lust genauso leben will, wie ihre Anfänge als Comicautorin waren und wie "Die Frau als Mensch" entstanden ist, erzählt die Wahl-Berlinerin mit Wiener Wurzeln in dieser Folge. Ulli Lust empfiehlt Robert Sapolsky: "Gewalt und Mitgefühl - die Biologie des menschlichen Verhaltens", Übersetzt aus dem Englischen von Hainer Kober, Antoinette Gittinger , 1024 Seiten, Hanser. Nadine empfiehlt Barbi Marković: "Stehlen, Schimpfen, Spielen", 144 Seiten, Rowohlt Hundert Augen. Das Buch Ulli Lust: "Die Frau als Mensch. Am Anfang der Geschichte", 256 Seiten, Reprodukt. Die Autorin Ulli Lust ist eine der renommiertesten Comic-Autorinnen. Neben ihren autofiktionalen Graphic Novels "Heute ist der letzte Tag vom Rest meines Lebens" und "Wie ich versuchte ein guter Mensch zu sein" veröffentlichte sie zahlreiche Comicreportagen und ist seit 2013 Professorin für Comic und Illustration an der Hochschule Hannover.

There comes a time in the creation of every masterwork where the artist must put down their tools and declare the work done. And whaddya know, the same is true for drunken podcast seasons about art as well! We're finishing up our comics and animation season (while finishing up what's left of our favorite recent whiskeys) with some final thoughts on the topic. And to make sure they're as clear, concise and clever as possible, we start things off by doing a review shot...that somehow turns into two. Fortunately, we manage to keep our heads, if not exactly our dignity, for everything that follows, as we unpack what we enjoyed about The Witcher comics and animated movies and what we'd like to see going forward. Plus, we pick a few favorites and least favorites, offer some unsolicited advice and decide that what we really want to see is a crossover involving Geralt's horse and...well, you should just listen.

In zahlreichen Folgen haben wir Sex und alles, was dazu gehört ja bereits in höchsten Tönen belobigt. Sex ist - aller Seiten Einverständnis vorausgesetzt natürlich - gesund, freudstiftend, man kommt mal aus den Klamotten, bewegt sich, Sex geht nicht auf die Leber und ist auch was für den schmalen Geldbeutel. Ist also vielen anderen Betätigungen unbedingt vorzuziehen. Was soll also an einer regen Libido bitte schlecht sein? Das verraten wir euch in diesem FLEXIKON zum Thema Sexsucht. Denn was ziemlich häufig als schlechte Entschuldigung für übergriffiges Verhalten dient, ist für wirklich Sexsüchtige körperlich und seelisch genauso quälend, wie der Doppelkorn für den Alkoholiker oder der Crackstein für den Drogenabhängigen. Und hier kommt die gute Nachricht! Man kann was dagegen tun! So wie Florian. Er stolpert schon als 8- oder 9-jähriger in eine ungesunde Sexualität. Echte Befriedigung erfährt er nur isoliert. Pornos, Zeitschriften, Bordelle. Auch wenn Florian in einer Partnerschaft ist, bleibt seine Sucht nach pornografischem Material. Er spürt richtigen Suchtdruck. Das geht nicht nur ins Geld, Florian hat Angst, dass sein Doppelleben auffliegt. Wie bei stofflichen Drogen, gehört auch bei Sexsucht eine Dosissteigerung dazu. Als sich Florian bei Fantasien erwischt, vor denen er sich selbst erschrickt, legt er bei einem Therapeuten die Karten auf den Tisch. Menschen wie Florian landen nicht selten in der Praxis von Dr. Heike Melzer. Im Wartezimmer der Neurologin, Sexual- und Paartherapeutin sitzen zunehmend Menschen, die mit der ständigen Verfügbarkeit von Reizen nicht gut haushalten können. Denn mit dem immer größer werdenden Angebot pornografischer Inhalte, steigt auch die Anzahl derer, die sich abends nicht auf Sex mit der Partnerin oder dem Partner freuen, sondern darauf warten, dass alle im Bett sind, um sich endlich ins virtuelle Erotikabenteuer zu stürzen. Hier kommen die Links zur Folge: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/willkommen-im-club-der-queere-podcast-von-puls/10531949/ Und unsere Podcastempfehlung aus dem Hause Puls vom BR „Willkommen im Club“ https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/willkommen-im-club-der-queere-podcast-von-puls/10531949/ flexikon@ndr.de

Our humor may be juvenile, but this week we're going all the back to grade school! We've locked up the liquor cabinet and broken out the Welch's juice and fruit snacks for a (mostly) family friendly conversation about The Little Witcher, the ridiculously cute new graphic novel drawn by Giada Carboni and written by the talented folks at CD Projekt Red. Is this new hardcover strictly for the kids? Or could it actually be aimed at their parents? Either way, the book's a must-read and this episode is a must-listen as we unpack some of The Little Witcher's unexpectedly resonant themes, consider the possibility that the Welch's founder may have been Santa Claus and discover that Tim was surprisingly straight-laced as a kid..at least when it came to his Oreos.

We're taking you from the streets of Dallas all the way to the mountains of Kovir in our last side quest of the season. Newly returned from a trip to Texas, we discuss why we were there (it involves a bit of Witcher and a whole lot of whiskey) before we tear into this year's Witcher-less Tudum. After that, we enter the world of gaming with a ten-year tribute to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and why even now we just can't say no to Cerys. Finally, we wrap things up with a deep dive into the gorgeous new Witcher 4 tech demo in which we savor the breathtaking graphics as well as Ciri's newfound sassiness. It's a fun, free flowing episode that unlike a certain recent streaming live event, is filled to the brim with Witcher goodness! Hold music: "Local Forecast - Slower" by Kevin MacLeod
