I'm not German... but since I live "close", my satellite dish was receiving all their channels, incl. Super RTL which luckily showed LBT in autumn 2002 & brought my interest back to it until I saw PB&J Otter there in January of 2003 & forgot about everything else, lol. That Super RTL, although mostly consisting of Disney stuff, nearly compensated for me the lose of Cartoon Network I so loved to watch in the 90s + helped me to understand German language... Basically, any show that was originally American or English at that time for me was impossible to find, until I discovered the freedom of choice in my internet era.
And for the drawings - well, I lost them back in 2002... And the last time I drew something very seriously or just outta boredom was like in 2006 or 2009, so yeah.
