Came across an offhand reference to the Order of the Stick at gamona.de, in an article about a Kickstarter project that missed its funding goal by $28.00. My German isn't good enough to decide if the characterization of Rich Burlew as an "unbekannte Designer" (unknown designer?) is accurate, though.

(Please note that gamona.de appears to conform to German standards of what's SFW, which are significantly looser than NSFW standards in the USA.)

Rich and The Most Famous Thumb in Webcomics are also mentioned in this article on Forbes.com:
