There's the nautical word "windjammer", as a sea term an international word. Here you see the yearly event in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein Germany. windjammer

And let us not forget the Katzenjammer Kids comic strip. In German, Katzenjammer 'hangover', literally 'caterwauling'.

Very funny. And still running? That's strong! "Rudolph Dirks created The Katzenjammer Kids in 1897 for the American Humorist, the famed Sunday supplement of the New York Journal. Inspired in part by Max Und Moritz" ( I have that huge complete Wilhelm Busch ). Gruesome. Grausam. Dirks Wonderful, that old printed page.

Yes, those little stories created for the edification and improvement of children's manners and behavior, while just as well they prepared you for getting hardened and maybe a developped taste for horror stories. Those German "cartoons" are very moralizing. (we were quite fond of them) Hans Huckebein , der Unglücksrabe

Not in syndication in our part of the world. At least I am not
aware of it anywhere. Perhaps on line.
