Marko Kociper: The Badger and the Rest of the World
Marko Kociper is one of Slovenia’s most prolific comic artists. In his comics, he reveals people’s foibles and various social anomalies without mincing words and with lots of humour, and his distinctive drawing and narrative style is similarly blunt and forthright. Eroticism and satire are the main common threads of his work, and he often draws comics based on literary works, such as stories by Vinko Möderndorfer, Miha Mazzini, Andrej Blatnik or other authors. In recent years, he has also devoted himself to drawing stories about Fran Milčinski’s Butalci, i.e. unintelligent residents of a small village called Butale. A very important part of his oeuvre are the comic strips about a badger, who is certainly considered Kociper’s most famous (and most determined and fearless) comic strip character.
