Das Fehlende Buch! (or, The Missing Book!)
Das Fehlende Buch! (or, The Missing Book!) by @sparky_7th_chaos (Sparky the Seventh Chaos)

A comic thing I made for my German class. It was based on one of the exceedingly goofy stories we tell each other to learn the language. In this case, we drew mini-stories based on the main story about a missing book out of a hat, then made comics of them. A panel-by-panel translation into English follows:

Panel one This is Susanne. Susanne: Where is my book?

(The "#10" was which prompt I had)

Panel two Susanne: My book!

(The book says "Book!")

Panel three

Susanne: ...this is not my book.

Panel four

Susanne: I eat it!

Panel five Susanne: Where is MY book?!

("Geht, geht" is literally translated as "go, go;" depending on context, it can mean things like "walk, walk")

Panel six

(The book says "Cow!")

Panel seven

Susanne: Is this my book?

Panel eight

Random Cow: No. This is my book!

Panel nine Random Cow: Goodbye!

(I misspelled "Wiedersehen." Auf Wiedersehen is literally "On see again" -until we see each other again.)

Panels ten and eleven

(The book says "Monkey!")

Panel twelve

Susanne: My book!

Panel thirteen

Susanne: BOOK!

Panel fourteen

The End.

Panel fifteen

(The blank spot is where my actual name was. Since I'm not about to give out my full name over the Internet, I replaced it with my insignia. "Stunde" translates to "hour" or, in this context, "class period.")

Panel sixteen Blue! (Somehow a bit of blue stamp stuff got smeared there.)

And that is your German lesson for today. ^_^
