War and Peas strip, drawn by Elizabeth Pich
Elizabeth Pich is a comics artist living and working in Saarbrücken. She is the author of the comic series 'Fungirl', and co-author of the ongoing webcomic 'War and Peas' with Jonathan Kunz. Pich and Kunz met at art school, and began their collaboration in 2011. What started out as a blog for silly doodles and nonsensical comics, eventually turned into a weekly comic strip, under guidance of comic artist Barbara Yelin, who was a guest lecturer at the time. 'War and Peas' strips give a funny look at different types of situations, mostly dealing with unfulfilled desires, humans and technology, and generally have a sad twist ending. The authors write together and usually alternate drawing.

Prints of the strip are for sale on their website. They both enjoy the work of fellow (webcomic) artists like Kate Beaton, Nicholas Gurewitch, Chris McCoy and Alex Norris. Since June 2015, Elizabeth Pich is working on the comic series 'Fungirl', an absurd adventure comic about the unashamed exploits of a girl trying to master the hurdles of life. Currently, she is working on her first book which will hopefully be finished in 2019. She updates her progress on her instagram: @fffungirl.
