The series premiered in 1984. Stopped in 2000.

The hotchpotch, humourous stories are presented in a variety of formats such as single cartoons, strips, and one-pagers, and the drawing style varies greatly as well. The common denominator is different persons' biting satirical views on human conceitedness and contemporary fads.

The special Danish title Firserfars can be translated to Minced Eighties in English. In 1990 the title was logically changed to Halvfemserfars meaning Minced Nineties.
