His illustrated works are considered the forerunner of the modern comic. His characters' adventures have been translated into numerous languages. To mark the anniversary of his death, the Wilhelm Busch museum in Hanover invited twelve German comic strip artists to breathe new life into his characters. Artists like Ralf König and Volker Reiche have reinterpreted the original characters and the results are available in a new comic collection.
