Busch's greatest success, both within Germany and internationally, was with ''Max and Moritz'':<ref>Wessling, p. 73</ref> Up to the time of his death it was translated into English, Danish, Hebrew, Japanese, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Swedish, and Walloonian.<ref>Schury, p. 99</ref> Several countries banned the story&nbsp;– about 1929 the [[Styria]]n school board prohibited sales of ''Max and Moritz'' to teens under eighteen.<ref>Wessling, p. 76</ref> By 1997 more than 281 dialect and language translations had been produced.<ref>Diers, p. 64</ref>

Some early "Moritzian" comic strips were heavily influenced by Busch in plot and narrative style. ''Tootle and Bootle'' (1896), borrowed so much content from ''Max and Moritz'' that it was described as a pirate edition.<ref name="we331">Weissweiler, p. 331</ref> The true "Moritzian" recreation is ''[[The Katzenjammer Kids]]'' by German artist [[Rudolph Dirks]], published in the ''[[New York Journal-American|New York Journal]]'' from 1897. It was published though [[William Randolph Hearst]]'s suggestion that a pair of siblings following the pattern of "Max and Moritz" should be created.<ref name="we331" /> ''The Katzenjammer Kids'' is regarded as one of the oldest, continuous [[comic strip]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1989458_1989457_1989441,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100520024522/http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1989458_1989457_1989441,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=20 May 2010 |title=Top 10 Long-Running Comic Strips / The Katzenjammer Kids |author=Claire Suddath |publisher=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] magazine |date=17 May 2010 |access-date=20 April 2013}}</ref>

German "Moritzian"-inspired stories include ''Lies und Lene; die Schwestern von Max und Moritz'' (Hulda Levetzow, F. Maddalena, 1896), ''Schlumperfritz und Schlamperfranz'' (1922), ''Sigismund und Waldemar, des Max und Moritz Zwillingspaar'' (Walther Günther, 1932), and ''Mac und Mufti'' (Thomas Ahlers, Volker Dehs, 1987).<ref>Diers, pp. 65–67</ref> These are shaped by observations of the First and Second World Wars, while the original is a moral story.<ref>Ueding, p. 80</ref> In 1958 the [[Christian Democratic Union of Germany|Christian Democratic Union]] used the ''Max and Moritz'' characters for a [[Political campaign|campaign]] in North Rhine-Westphalia, the same year that the [[East Germany|East German]] satirical magazine ''[[Eulenspiegel (magazine)|Eulenspiegel]]'' used them to caricature black labour. In 1969 ''Max and Moritz'' "participated" in late 1960s [[German student movement|student activism]].<ref>Diers, p. 67</ref>
