Uli Stein is a German comic artist who has had broad success over many generations. I am happy to introduce him to you here for many reasons, but especially because his humor is more along the lines of Calvin and Hobbes than Southpark.
You can click here everyday and see a new cartoon [täglich neu humor = daily new humor]. The cartoons seem to be culled randomly from his many published books.

Just as with comic characters like Garfield or Snoopy, or comic artists like Gary Larsen, there are many products available based on Uli Stein's comics. As you can imagine, Uli Stein calendars can be found in every bookstore, especially during the holiday season.
Viel Spass = A lot of fun!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch = Hearty congrats [for your birthday]
Warum...heraus...= Why don't you just say outloud
dass = that
dieses Jahr = this year
Schlips = Krawatte, tie
keinen Schlips = no tie
zum Geburtstag = for your birthday
du möchtest...keinen Schlips = you would not like any ties.
