The cartoons concerned blonde, good-looking, pacifist Roland and the many attempts by the evil, mustachioed Rattfink to ruin his good time. The cartoons were surprisingly off-beat and painted the two characters as extreme polar opposites. Roland seemed to parody the peace-loving, "Make Love, Not War" long-haired good guy as a gentle, kind, and soft-hearted youth. Rattfink was, however, a cynical, mischievous, negative and malicious man (appearing older than Roland) out to destroy anything happy or positive.
Die Cartoons handeln vom Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse, verkörpert durch den friedlichen blonden Roland und den bösartigen schnurrbärtigen Rattfink.
