Wilhelm Busch ( April 15 , 1832 ( Wiedensahl near Hannover ) - January 9 , 1908 ( Mechtshausen )) was a German Painter and Poet who is known for his Satirical picture stories. After studying first Mechanical Engineering and then Art in Düsseldorf , Antwerpen and Munich , he turned to drawing Caricature s. One of his first picture stories, '' Max And Moritz '' (published in 1865 ), was a huge success. ''Max and Moritz'' as well as many of his other picture stories are regarded as one of the main precursors of the modern Comic Strip . ''Max and Moritz'', for instance, has been an inspiration for the '' Katzenjammer Kids ''. Wilhelm Busch also wrote a number of poems in a similar style to his picture stories. Besides that he produced more than 1,000 Oil Painting s that weren't sold before his death in 1908 . He was also active as a sculptor. | GALLERY
