Cover of the comic "Entanglement" by Johannes Kretzschmar a.k.a. Beetlebum. You can see two round, cartoony creatures, a blue one with tie and suitcase and a red one with a guitar and flipping the bird. Both seem to be surrounded and connected to each other by a kind of bubble. It looks flexible, but at the same time you get the impression that they can't get too far from one another. The red one is in a bad mood, the blue one looks panicky. Red is also shown upside-down, which is explained in the next picture, in the first comic page before the story starts.

First real comic page in which an overexasporated avatar of the author tries to explain the unusual way this comic is read: The blue comic strip in the upper half is read Western-style, from left to right. Then you turn the zine around and read the red strip below from right to left, like a Manga. Sounds complicated, but it works really well, see the following examples.

Sample page from the comic "Entanglement". In the blue strip above, the business guy sips a cup of coffee early in the morning and in the last panel feels energized. If you turn around the zine (or the phone), the red guy is at first sleeping in his bed, then tossing and turning around, and when the coffee boost of his entangled blue counterpart hits, is suddenly very awake. The alignment of the panels illustrates the entanglement. You could have printed the lower red story right-side-up and from left to right, but then comic readers would have read is as happening after the events in the blue strip above. In this upside-down way, there is no hierarchy between both stories - neither with regard to importance, nor chronological. You understand instinctively that both happen at the same time, are equally important and are connected through the panel grid like notes in a musical score.

Another sample page from the comic "Entanglement". Blue is angry because the phone at his work desk is making strange noises (an effect from Red's band rehearsal on the last page) and decides to meet his business partner directly at the golf course. At the same time, Red leaves his band rehearsal to get a beer, The run-down streets he passes contrast nicely with the shiny skyscrapers and the neat golf course Blue is approaching in his car. As Red empties his beer in his last panel of the page, Blue gets a hiccup in his last panel - the panels arrangement indicates the entanglement.
