Toleranz ist gut, aber nicht gegenüber den Intoleranten.

Tolerance is good, but not towards the intolerant.

I Have Recently Been Reading German Literature Lately, Presumably the Cautionary Side rather than Digging More Fairytales especially from the Brothers Grimm. I Specifically Been Meaning to Look Into German Culture and Media apart from Being a Tabaluga Fan and After Looking the Till Eulenspiegel Animated Adaptation, "Jester Till" even as Someone Who Used to Watch Phelous had I Always Known Dingo Pictures Throughout My Life.

For My Recent New Fav, I've Been Recently Getting into "Max & Moritz: A Story of Seven Boyish Pranks" After Reading "Der Struwwelpeter" which I Fell in Love Way More on the Former than the Latter since the Merry Pranks These Two Naughty Children do are Really Funny but Very Creativite Based on the Certain Victim's Lifestyle on What the Prank is Described for Said Victim, Sadly for the Boys They Ended Up Grinded as Geese Food Despite the Fact They are Children (Yikes! That's Even Worse! 0_0).

Compare to Der Struwwelpeter, Which is an Anthology of Moral Lessons within Short Stories to Scare Bad Children for Their Bad Behavior (except a Single Odd One Story with an Adult Protagonist), Max & Moritz is Way More Comedic with Dark Humor of Two Troubled Boys Who are Brothers Targeting Any of Their Neighbors, Sometimes a Relative, with Some Good Old Pranks.

Not Much More to Say on How I Tend to Feel About Black Comedy in European Media that's Aimed for Kids since even American Kids also has Their Fair Share of Traumas in Dark Comedy too but Busch based Their Pranks Fairly Loosely Off of Till Eulenspiegel, A More Anti-Heroic Trickster also from German Whose More Obscure (much like with Reynard (Renart) the Fox from France) that isn't Well Known in America with Anansi or Brer Rabbit.

For My Artwork on The Two Mischievous Pranksters, I Mostly Used the Halas & Batchelor Style Behind Them (the Same Studio Who Most of Y'all are Mainly Familiar with Their Famous Version on "Animal Farm") Because I Loved the 70s Cartoon Adaptation a Lot as I Think it Fits Them More.

Finished "Max and Moritz Reloaded" This Morning since I Watched it Last Night Only the Original Language on Dailymotion (Despite Reloading to Go Back to a Few Scenes because of a Bunch of Stupid Annoying Ads).

While it was a Fun Watch, My Biggest Pet Peeve is How They Got the Boys' Names Swapped Judging by the Different Hairstyles.

I Know It's an Adaptation but It's Still Very Bothering about the Name Swap Change when Max is Supposed to be the One Blue Boy with the Shaggy Hair and Moritz is Supposed to be the Green Boy with the Curly/Ahoge Hair.

If it's Really What the Directors Thought in the First Place when Reading the Poems, Then I Am Not Buying It. :/

Contemplating his body of work, he said, “The stories I'm most partial to are the most nonsensical, the most abstract — something I disapprove of in other people.” His favorites include “[The Untitled Book],” “The Nursery Frieze,” “The Object Lesson” and “The West Wing.” He dedicated this last one to Edmund Wilson. “He was the first person to pay attention to me in print, but he was hard on my prose style. So when I dedicated a book to him I chose one without text.” Remembering Wilson, he said that along with Balanchine and the poet John Ashbery, he was one of the people who most intimidated him. Asked to characterize his art, he was nonplussed. “More or less, it's a genre that's fallen into disuse,” he said, and then searched for antecedents. He suggested Wilhelm Busch, the 19th‐century German cartoonist.
