Line 1: {{creator}} [[File:Wilhelm Busch, Portrait by Franz von Lenbach.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|''Portrait of Wilhelm Busch'', by Franz von Lenbach, c. 1877]] ~~{{Needs Image}}~~ '''Wilhelm Busch''' (1832-1908) was a 19th -century [[German Poets and Thinkers\|German painter and poet]], who became famous for his (black and white) picture stories with rhymed texts. He's still widely known today, especially for his children's stories, like ''[[Max and Moritz]]'', the success of which has made him one of the most-quoted poets in the German language right next to [[Goethe]] and Schiller. He's not however the author of ''[[Struwwelpeter\|Der Struwwelpeter]]'', which is yet a bit older, although from the 19th century too. Due to the lack of [[Speech Bubbles]] not really [[Comics]] yet, but definitely [[Sequential Art]]. Influenced ''The Katzenjammer Kids'' by Rudolph Dirks and found many other imitators. Line 44: * [[But You Screw One Goat!]] / [[Get Thee to a Nunnery]]: Max and Moritz provoke a tailor by calling him "goat-Böck". Nowadays it just sounds like a pun on his name (well, in German). At this time though, it implied he was doing improper acts with goats... * [[Camp]]: The [[Always Camp\|hairdresser]] in the story of Fipps the monkey. Some things never change, do they? * [[~~Chocolate~~Her ~~Baby~~Child, but Not His]]: After Helene marries rich fat guy Schmöck (whose name doesn't coincidentally sound like shmuck), she bears twins who look very much like her lover Franz. * [[Covered in Gunge]] * [[Delivery Stork]] Line 90: * [[Theme Naming]]: Max and Moritz; dogs Plisch and Plum; Hiebel, Fibel and Bullerstiebel, the friends of Gottlieb Michael; the aunts Petrine and Pauline from the same story; and more. * [[The Tooth Hurts]]: In one story. [[Hilarity Ensues]] (well, for the reader). [http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/buch/4182/1 You can read it online here] (in German). * [[Visual Pun]]: Cousin Franz is drawn blackhanded in the picture with the ~~Chocolate~~ babies and their not-father. * [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Killing her chickens was mean, but the widow reacts in a way you could think they had killed her children. * [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Helene's twins only appear on one panel as babies, and we don't learn what happened to them after {{spoiler\|Helene's husband Schmöck and their real father Franz die. Or Helene herself, for that matter.}} Line 100: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Creator~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Artists]] [[Category:Authors]] ~~[[Category:Wilhelm Busch]]~~ ▲[[Category:Creator]]
