"Sly wit and black humour mixed with seemingly innocent images -- those are the hallmarks of Wilhelm Busch's works. He is always happy to serve a comeuppance if one is due, and his everyday sketches reveal a subtly darker and yet hilarious world. = Schlitzohrig und geistreich die Texte, scheinbar harmlos die Bilder – daran erkennt man die Werke von Wilhelm Busch. Allzu gern serviert er die fällige Quittung, und seine alltäglich wirkenden Zeichnungen lassen eine spaßige und zugleich düstere Welt erahnen." - fadedpage. "The German nineteenth-century artist Wilhelm Busch is regarded as one of the founders of modern-day comics. He pioneered several elements which have become staples of the medium, such as onomatopeia and expressive movement lines. His iconic series 'Max und Moritz' (1865), about two naughty young boys, was the first children's comic in history." - Comicopedia. First Edition of the final work printed in Busch's lifetime, combining his humorous poetry with his delightful and iconic art. ; 62 pages.
