1	Mike (full title: "Mike, der Taschengeldexperte" - "Mike, the pocket money expert") was a German comic that was distributed to kids for free, by the Volksbank / Raiffeisenbank. It's about the various mishaps of the [[FunnyAnimal hamster]] Mike, who tries (mostly unsuccessfully) to augment his pocket money with various odd jobs.

5	* Dr. Karl Höhn, Mike's friend, a mixture of bird and mouse
