Loriot was once best known as a cartoonist, with the distinguishing
feature that all his characters had potato-shaped noses. In the 1960s,
he presented the TV series "Cartoon" which featured short animated
cartoons from all over the world. In between the clips he acted in
little funny sketches. These sketches were by a long way the funniest
thing on German television and so Loriot was given his own TV show,
only with sketches and no cartoons (except the odd one made by
himself). This show turned out to be hugely successful and he was
finally persuaded to lift this format to the feature film with
Ödipussi (1988).
