Megg is a depressed, drug-addicted witch. Mogg is her black cat. Their friend, Owl, is an anthropomorphized owl. They hang out a lot with Werewolf Jones. This may sound like a pure stoner comedy, but it transcends the genre: these characters struggle unsuccessfully to come to grips with their depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, lack of work, lack of ambition, and their complex feelings about each other in ways that have made Megg and Mogg sensations on Hanselmann's GirlMountain tumblr. This is the first collection of Hanselmann's work, freed from its cumbersome Internet prison, and sure to be one of the most talked about graphic novels of 2014, featuring all of the "classic" Megg and Mogg episodes from the past five years as well as over 70 pages of all-new material.

Megg the witch, Mogg the cat, their friend Owl, and Werewolf Jones struggle unsuccessfully with their depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, lack of ambition, and their complex feelings about each other. It’s a laff riot! Megg and Mogg decide to take a trip to Amsterdam for some quality couple time, although the trip gets off to a rocky start when they forget their antidepressants. They need Owl to come and help them save their relationship. But why does he have a suitcase full of glass dildos? And what will they do when they realize that the housesitting Werewolf Jones has turned their apartment into a “f#@k zone”? Megg & Mogg in Amsterdam collects all of Simon Hanselmann’s contributions to Vice.com, the Ignatz Award-nominated short story “St. Owl’s Bay,” and other surprises that will add additional color and background for fans of Megahex.

The characters are imbued with far more pathos and depth than seems plausible given the stock comic premise—drugged-out, slacker roommates. One More Year continues to give substance to the characters and personalities of its protagonists in ways that never fail to surprise, delight, and horrify.

Rare book

Owl is gone, Werewolf Jones has moved in, and everything as Megg and Mogg know it begins to fall apart. Hanselmann’s comic premise of his previous graphic novels—eternally stoned, slacker roommates—stretches at the seams as his characters reflect the psychological toll that their years of unsustainable, determined insouciance and self-medication has inflicted.

In 2016, Hanselmann began producing Xeroxed zines starring the depressive Megg (a green-skinned witch), her abusive boyfriend Mogg (an actual cat), their submissive roommate Owl (a vaguely humanoid owl), and the self-destructively hedonistic Werewolf Jones (half human, half wolf) in print runs of 300 to 500 copies, with hand-painted covers, custom stamps and hologram security stickers. Seeds and Stems collects all of these out-of-print, self-published stories produced by the artist between 2016-2019, along with a generous smattering of rarities from various anthologies and magazines. Megg and Mogg and friends explore the worlds of lucid dreaming, banking scams, cinema, mixed drinks, alien invasions, and budget vasectomies in this varied collection of rare and often experimental adventures, designed and curated entirely by the artist.

In March 2020, as the planet began to enter lockdown, acclaimed cartoonist Simon Hanselmann decided that what the world needed most was free, easily accessible entertainment, so he set out to make the greatest webcomic ever created! The result is also certain to be one of the most acclaimed and eagerly anticipated graphic novels of 2021. As the Covid-19 pandemic continued to escalate far beyond any reasonable expectations, Crisis Zone escalated right alongside, in real time, with daily posts on Instagram.

Watch Megg attempt to bury herself in a digital world of escapism! See Mogg fall down the rabbit hole of paranoia and conspiracy theories! Experience Owl's metamorphosis from timid and uptight worrywort to a no-holds-barred, asskicking leader and back again! Witness Werewolf Jones' journey from reluctant erotic performer, to viral TikTok stardom, to Netflix sensation!

HECHIZO TOTAL es la primera entrega de la serie en curso Megg, Mogg & Owl, una sitcom en forma de tebeo protagonizada por la bruja Megg, su gato Mogg y el búho Búho, sin olvidar personajes como el excesivo Werewolf Jones, el nigromante Mike y el monstruo asustaniños transexual Moco. A partir de aquí, la serie se centra en pequeños capítulos autoconclusivos en los que Simon Hanselmann va desarrollando una comedia generacional, luminosa y descreída a partes iguales, que irá convirtiéndose poco a poco en una fotografía apenas deformada del Zeitgeist contemporáneo. Las tramas giran en torno a la vida cotidiana, repartida mayormente entre el sofá de casa y los pasillos del centro comercial cercano. Una convivencia, la de esta serie de personajes imposibles, marcada por las bromas pesadas, el consumo indiscriminado de drogas y el visionado maratoniano de series de televisión, sus únicas vías de escape ante una realidad frustrante. Por las fisuras del humor a veces cafre y a veces sutil, ocasionalmente cruel de Hanselmann, se filtra una sensibilidad única que invita al lector a decodificar una soterrada clave de miedo, depresión, confusión y abulia. La propia vida del autor no ha sido un camino de rosas y sus historias tienen más de autobiográfico de lo que aparentan. Él mismo ha manifestado que cada personaje de la serie representa un aspecto de su propia personalidad y varios de estos aspectos se reflejan en historias deprimentes y alucinadas protagonizadas por la bruja Megg, como contrapunto escalofriante al tono de comedia que impera en la serie. Hanselmann está convencido de padecer Asperger y Megg, Mogg & Owl es la terapia con la que recupera –y de paso nos obsequia– la alegría de vivir. Ayudándose de un oído finísimo para los diálogos, un goteo constante de referencias de la cultura popular y una caracterización simple y aparentemente despreocupada, Simon Hanselmann dota de personalidad propia a unos personajes que se convierten en auténticos clásicos desde las primeras páginas. Simon Hanselmann es el descubrimiento de la década y esta serie está destinada a ser uno de los hitos que la definan en el cada vez más vasto mundo de los tebeos.

Megg es una bruja que trae hechizado a mas de uno en su barrio. Su novio es el gato Mogg con quien comparte fluidos diversos, sustancias no muy legales y una atracción por lo bizarro. Su compañero de apartamento es Buho, quien siempre está tratando de llevar una vida algo mas normal.

Australialaisen Simon Hanselmannin (mm. Ignatz-palkinto vuosina 2013 ja 2014) sarjakuva Megg, Mogg & Pöllö käsittelee vakavia aiheita mustan huumorin kautta. Huumeriippuvainen noita Megg, hänen kissansa Mogg ja heidän kämppiksensä Pöllö yrittävät selviytyä maailmassa, jossa riittää masennusta, ahdistuneisuutta, huumeita, köyhyyttä, työttömyyttä, kunnianhimon puutetta sekä monimutkaisia suhteita. soppaa hämmentää omalta osaltaan myös Meggin nuoruudenrakkaus Ihmissusi-Jone. Sanomattakin lienee selvää, että erilaiset arvomaailmat ovat törmäyskurssilla.

Un dîner raffiné pour quatre personnes dans un restaurant français étoilé, entouré d'amis qui vous chérissent et vous couvrent de cadeaux... Peut-on rêver meilleur anniversaire ? Si vos amis en question sont ces trois tarés immatures de Megg, Mogg et Werewolf Jones, alors certainement, oui ! Owl a attendu cette soirée d'anniversaire depuis longtemps ! Il a prévu de convier Megg et Mogg à L'Escargot Truffé, un haut lieu de la gastronomie française. Mais voilà que Werewolf Jones s'invite lui aussi sans demander et, une fois à table, le dîner prend très vite des allures de cauchemar. Ses trois "invités" n'ont aucune tenue et lui foutent la grosse honte dans le restaurant : ils jouent avec la nourriture, critiquent le serveur à voix haute, se bourrent la gueule, crachent par terre et importunent les clients. Résultat : pas de cadeau pour Owl, mais une addition salée et une soirée d'anniversaire qui va finir en longue et sombre nuit au poste de police.
