Origin[]
Mama Katzenjammer is the mother of the Katzenjammer kids, Hans and Franz.She never sees what her "litt' darlinks" are up to. As originally created, Mama's husband was Papa Katzenjammer, her brother was the bungling sailor Heinie, and der Captain–introduced in 1902—was Heinie's boss. After a short while, Papa was dropped from the strip without explanation, with der Captain taking over his function. By the 1940s, der Captain and Mama were often presented as a de facto couple.
