Kurt Tucholsky was a brilliant satirist, poet, storyteller, lyricist, pacifist, and Democrat; a fighter, lady’s man, reporter, and early warner against the Nazis who hated and loathed him and drove him out of Germany after his books were burned in 1933. His contemporary Erich Kaestner called him a "small, fat Berliner," who "wanted to stop a catastrophe with his typewriter." The New York Times hailed him as "one of the most brilliant writers of republican Germany. He was a poet as well as a critic and was so versatile that he used five or six pen names. As Peter Panter he was an outstanding essayist who at one time wrote topical sketches in the Vossische Zeitung, which ceased to appear under the Nazi regime; as Theobald Tiger he wrote satirical poems that were frequently interpreted by popular actors in vaudeville and cabartes, and as Ignatz Wrobel he contributed regularly to the Weltbühne, an independent weekly that was one of the first publications prohibited by the Hitler government." Tucholsky, who occupied the center stage in the tumultuous political and cultural world of 1920s Berlin, still emerges as an astonishingly contemporary figure. As an angry truth-teller, he pierced the hypocrisy and corruption around him with acute honesty. Imagine a writer with the acid voice of Christopher Hitchens and the satirical whimsy of Jon Stewart, combined with the iconoclasm of Bill Maher. That’s Tucholsky in a nutshell. Like Hitchens, Tucholsky wrote a mixture of literary essays, social observations, and political commentary. His irony made the line between his “serious writing” and his “entertainments” almost invisible. The fashionable outsider watched the political “center” disappear, and, in the end, he found himself catapulted out of society altogether. His career was sandwiched between the two most deadly events of his century: the bloodbath of World War I and the scourge of Nazism. Just as the first war launched Hemingway’s lifelong career as a wounded tough guy with a soft spot for guns and broads, Tucholsky discovered the reflexes of an escape artist. He was equally elusive as a writer. In today’s world, a journalist isn’t supposed to write plays, and a playwright isn’t welcomed as a novelist. But in 1920s Berlin, Tucholsky was dealing with postwar realities that required shouting from the rooftops, and any rooftop would do.

Panter Tiger und Co. deuten auf die Namen hin unter denen Kurt Tucholsky (9.1.1890- 21.12.1935) seine vielen Texte zunächst veröffentlicht hat. Er schrieb als Satiriker und Gesellschaftskritiker unter den Pseudonymen Kaspar Hauser, Peter Panter, Theobald Tiger und Ignaz Wrobel.

Die Zusammenstellung seiner Texte in diesem Buch ist lesenswert und auch heute noch amüsant. Der Autor ist ein guter Beobachter und ein begnadeter Schriftsteller, der den Leser mit seinen vielen kleinen, kurzen und oft unterhaltsamen Geschichten immer wieder begeistert. So schreibt er im "Kurzen Abriss der Nationalökonomie" auf Seite 197 als Schlußwort:
"Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden: die Nationalökonomie ist die Metaphysik des Pokerspielers.
Ich hoffe Ihnen mit diesen Angaben gedient zu haben, und füge noch hinzu, daß sie so gegeben sind wie alle Waren, Verträge, Zahlungen, Wechselunterschriften und sämtliche anderen Handelsverpflichtungen: also ohne jedes Obligo."

Auf Seite 115 findet man folgendes kurzes Wortspiel:
Die Reportahsche
"Nichts ist verächtlicher, als wenn Literaten Literaten Literaten nennen."
Schnipsel
Peter Panter 1932

Kurz seien noch einige der guten Erzählungen in dem Buch benannt:
Hoch Sie Leben
Frauen sind eitel. Männer?-Nie
In der Hotelhalle
Der Loew' ist los-!
Wie sieht der Erfinder des Reissverschluß aus?
Der schiefe Hut
Die Apotheke
Ein Ehepaar erzählt einen Witz
Man sollte mal...
Fahrt ins Glück
Denkmal am Deutschen Eck
Vor Verdun
Wo lesen wir unsere Bücher
Vor und nach den Wahlen
Seid ihr alle wieder DA-?
Das A-B-C des Angeklagten
Merkblatt für Geschworene
Die Herren Beisitzer
Das "Menschliche"
usw.

Da muss man nicht viel sagen, denn Tucholsky ist ein Klassiker der politischen Satire auf der Basis tiefer Abneigung gegen
die alten Kräfte des Reichs und Verachtung für die neuen Herren mit ihrer rassistischen Ideologie, ihrem dumpfen Miltarismus
und Spiessertum. Dieses preiswerte rororo-Bändchen kann man immer wieder zur Hand nehmen, verschenken oder im Café
einfach auf dem Tisch liegenlassen für weitere Leser, die sich dann über eine Neuentdeckung freuen können.
