BBB Comix of the Week

A nod to a true classic. A mid 1800s German comic complete with poetry, Max and Moritz were the brain child of Wilhelm Busch. His stories, Max and Moritz - A juvenile History in Seven Tricks stands all tests of time. After all, boys will be boys.

Busch and his creations have inspired and influenced many a poet and comic author.
It's pretty obvious the Katzenjammer Kids comic was a derivative and perhaps that's also true of Beavis and Butt-head. Further, it would be hard to imagine Shel Silverstein wasn't a fan (but that's a story for a different Wednesday).
