Personal life

Uli Stein was born in Hannover as a son of a housewife and a public servant. He graduated the Goetheschule in Hannover.[1] After a two-year conscription in the Bundeswehr, he moved to West Berlin where he studied German, Geography and Biology at the Free University of Berlin. Shortly before graduating, he quit his studies to work as a journalist, amongst others six years for the Saarländischer Rundfunk. At the end of the 70s, he focused on cartoons full-time. He resides at Wedemark near Hannover.

Cartoons

Stein's cartoons mainly focus on day-to-day-situations, portrayed by mice, cats, dogs, penguins and pigs. He also creates cartoons for other events and subjects, such as politics or soccer. Although he mainly sells books and post cards with his cartoons, there is a variety of other products based on them, such as games and articles of daily use.

By 2008, Stein has sold more than 90 million post cards and 9 million books in Germany alone[2] and his works have been translated into a number of languages. Since 1998, he draws a weekly cartoon for TV Hören und Sehen, a German TV guide. With the advent of widespread internet usage, Stein began using the web as a medium for his cartoons, but is skeptical towards its use as a medium for books.[3]

gollark: Your compiler probably has an option to provide extra warnings, which is often useful when debugging strange confusing things.
gollark: Bitwise NOT flips all the bits, logical NOT just does true → false and vice versa.
gollark: Have you tried compiling with whatever flag tells it to give you all warnings?
gollark: ~ is bitwise NOT and not logical NOT, so it might not be valid to use it for this, and by not valid I mean "æÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆææææææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ undefined behaviour" (not really sure, but it might not like having a bool contain 255, and if you were to do ~true that would probably give 254, which is also bad).
gollark: Why ~ instead of ! for NOTing?
