Dwie Siostry Weder Hund noch Otter oder der Albtraum des Teenagerdaseins

A comic about the challenging experiences of puberty, based on true events. Honest, direct, and with a disarming sense of humor.

A dog is a child. An otter is an adult. And neither a dog nor an otter is anything in between. Helena Stańczyk's comic is a collection of true stories from this time of change – that is, from puberty. It includes stories from the author's life, from her conversations with friends, relatives, and acquaintances, and from a survey she published online. About makeup, shaving legs, battling pimples. About the first period, bras, orgasms. About discovering one's own identity and sexual orientation. About shame.

Helena Stańczyk shows that all young people face similar issues, helping them to accept and understand these experiences. This makes her comic a liberating read that facilitates the acceptance of one's own body and its changes.
