The rules are simple:

- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Yes, I'm familiar with German culture.
Damn moonspeak!
As a German, it seems that I am not
Just referencing common jokes some nations have about other nations, the french all surrender, the Japanese are horny for school girls, the british have bad teeth, Americans are all loud... that sort of thing.
For Germans it's that you invented scat tables (glass tables) to watch your sex partner shit on you.
This is pre-internet lore, so probably formulated from German inclinations towards rationality and self-examination, sprinkled with some WW2 stuff, and some actual stuff about porn/bondage communities.
It's probably better left in the past, even if it's still a cultural reference that can be used.
I mean 2 girls 1 cup was a German film.

I love Noddy Holders (lead singer of Slade) anecdote on on Graham Nortons show saying he was paid money in Germany multiple times to shit on a glass table while a dude was underneath.
Zizek has commented on the nature of ideology in Western European societies in relation to how their toilets deal with shit.

It suggests a fetish for examination.
And their toilets with dry surfaces that you poop on. That threw me for a loop when I visited Berlin.
