With my horrible (but usually working) German and my limited English, I 
translate "Lustiges Taschenbuch" to "Funny Pocketbook".

Your description of the CWDs fits with the Danish "Jumboboger". The joining 
of seperate stories is truly horrible (imho).

I've just picked up no. 170 this morning. How far is the Italian publication?
