	good point !!  this bush I love and admire!  ;-)


>When I was a child, I read "Fix und Foxi",... nothing special

	yep!


>I'll try to think of some real German comic authors:

	hey, you missed Nick Knatterton (I wonder if those are still
	in my mother's attic, 20 years after my departure... ;-)

	I don't even recall who wrote those....  but, yep, those are
	"understandable/readable" German, alright.... (in contrast to
	Broesel's "Werner", which requires a well-founded knowledge of
	German, the language AND culture)


>Hmmm... that's German humour?  Sex, Beer, and Politics?  Gulp.

	yeah, well, that's German alright ...  '-)


>Did you ask at rec.arts.comics.misc too?  They could know more.

	good pointer; I'd be interested to see summarized "here", what you
	can find out about "there" ...


>PS. Ha - I just remembered that Franziska Becker did a feminist Asterix parody,
>triggered by the last book by Uderzo...

	hey, not fair!  I haven't seen/heard of this, and I WANT it!

	 comics store in Wedding last year was a copy of "Falsches Spiel

	The back cover of this (of course I had to pull it off the shelf;
	it's one of the few of my collection which are protected by a plastic
	cover ;-), advertises:

		( under a cartoon of a Micky Mouse Asterix ;-)

	heh, I like that quote; can I "borrow it" for a while ?!?


PS: how was that Broesel-movie, around his Werner-character, btw ?
    (and just because I ride a motobyke and had been driving VW-vans
     for decades, and have been known to hit the Autobahn to go FAST,
     from border to border..... that doesn't mean I can sue for  royalties,
     can I?!?)
