Plisch und Plum

A lighthearted German comic strip series by Wilhelm Busch, first published in 1882 by Bassermann, Plisch und Plum follows the mischievous adventures of two unruly dogs and their young owners. Known for its sharp, rhyming text and expressive, black-and-white illustrations, the series is a classic example of 19th-century European picture stories. Though only one issue long, its influence on the comic strip medium endures, showcasing Busch's signature blend of humor and moral instruction.
