Wow. Nazi German Stick Soldier (SS?). Stick tank, stick go-boom explosion, stick fire, more stick figures. Stick airplanes or stick football goalposts?

When I WAS German?! How can someone be German in the past tense? Unless the author is writing as a ghost I don’t think nationality is something you can change like hair color.
I agree with your point, but I think that actually makes it a good title. It makes me ask questions: How could you become un-German? Did you lose your German citizenship? Did you assume a false identity? Are you a ghost (as you mentioned, Jen)? Are you reincarnated?
I have to say I kinda like this one. The infantile artwork is obviously intentional, and it does a pretty good job of evoking what I (correctly) guessed the book would be about.
Bottom line: I wouldn’t be ashamed to be seen reading this in the subway. Not that I’m ever actually going to buy the book or read it or anything.

Um,..wow.
Stick figures…really original.
When I was German …I was 3 and I drew this.

I think we have a all-time winner here. 🙂
Some additional thoughts…
Cover needs a Stick Wolf.
Could also use some Headless Stick Torsos.
Good observation. 😉

I think I see what you just did there. 😉
