Usually, I need an explanation for the cartoons from other countries. Thanks for providing it!
I remember Emil and the Detectives; didn't realize it was still in print.
The other ones I am not familiar with - and like Eva, I also need explanations for any foreign comics on stamps.
I'll always remember Desperate Dan. Love catching the boot.
