Did I say I wanted to do a page with less text?! I couldn't! I simply couldn't! Argh!! *bangs head against the wall until the plaster starts crumbling*

Still, this is a good day to rant, because
MASTER THE TIGER is one year old!!

I can't believe it myself. In all this time I managed to update on time without exception - well, one exception when DD's server failed in March. Moreover, I didn't have to resort to filler pages yet. Don't ask me how I did that, I don't know myself. Thanks for reading, everybody! Your support kept me going so far!

To celebrate, I prepared a little CONTEST
You can win a Master the Tiger wallpaper in full colour.
Here is a sneak preview (which also serves as the new thumbnail for this comic):

All you need to do is send me the answer to the following question via PQ or E-Mail ( gundi.tiger@web.de ):

On the first panel on the first page of this episode I'm waiting for Gundula in a street named after a famous German politician. What is his name?

Here are seven hints:
1. He died a long time ago. Nevertheless he is still very well known internationally.
2. I share my birthday with him - the first of April
3. When a student in Göttingen he was notorious for his unrestrained, beer-soaked lifestyle. He kept playing practical jokes and provoking duels to the point that he was expelled from the town and had to ride several kilometres every day between his lectures and the little tower he lived in. After getting fed up with that he finally finished his studies in Berlin.
4. He could be extremely ruthless and even wouldn't refrain from starting a war to achieve his political goals.
5. Nevertheless he is probably best known for his elaborate diplomacy that established a 40 year period of relative peace in Europe, that ended at about the same time when most of this episode is set.
6. He also established the first social insurance system in Germany.
7. My favourite quote by him translates as: "The less people know about how they make sausages and laws, the better they sleep."

Next week I'll solve it, but there will also be a second chance as next page contains the picture puzzle I had originally planned for this week. Also, there is much less text. This time I promise. :/
