"Max und Moritz" was not a comic strip. It is more accurately characterized as an "illustrated story book" and can certainly not claim to be the first comic strip.
It is interesting to compare Max & Moritz with Alice in Wonderland. Both appeared in 1865, and soon became (for their respective audiences) popular tales of children interacting with an adult world. However, it's notable that they took completely opposite approaches: Alice (a girl) is the only sane person in Wonderland, and ultimately uses her common sense to prevail against that increasingly nightmarish world, whereas Max and Moritz (boys) seem determined to wreak havoc on a trusting, law-abiding society through a series of increasingly outrageous pranks which ultimately lead to their downfall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.131.113.119 ( talk • contribs) 10:13, April 19, 2004 (UTC)
Die, anstatt durch weise Lehren
Sich zum Guten zu bekehren,
Oftmals noch darüber lachten
Und sich heimlich lustig machten.
ja, zur Übeltätigkeit,
Ja, dazu ist man bereit!
Menschen necken, Tiere quälen,
Äpfel, Birnen, Zwetschgen stehlen,
Das ist freilich angenehmer
Und dazu auch viel bequemer,
Als in Kirche oder Schule
Festzusitzen auf dem Stuhle.
I've added some edits linking M&M to the classic late medieval prankster stories of Till Eulenspiegel (Named derived from the lower german "Ull mer'n Speel" engl. (sim.): "Kiss my a***"). The first (to prank no 1) link can be supported by the image in the Reclam print version of Till [ [1]]. Images of the Reclam version of "Ein kurzweilig Lesen von Dil Ulenspiegel" are based on the wooden prints of the Till Eugenspiegel edition of 1515. Sofafernsehfan ( talk) 22:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
According to the article, the first line of the preface is 'Ah, how often we read or hear of'. I've never heard this version and Google gives only two results for it, one of which is the article itself. In my opinion, it should be 'oft' instead of 'often', in which case it would really be a trochaic tetrameter. Are there any sources for 'often'? - 84.172.32.197 ( talk) 14:58, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi there, I was just sharing the wikipedia article on Max and Moritz (the children's book), and was wondering if we could make a disambiguation page, instead of referring to the V2 rockets in the article on the children's book. Something like "For other uses see Disambiguation". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.71.194.134 ( talk) 20:09, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
