Sometimes, I'd like to be another animal, although I don't know which! No animal is the same! They have different colors, sizes, shapes...

Spots and Stripes is a German comic inspired by The Lion King. It was published by Ehapa Verlag in November 2008.

Synopsis[]

Simba flees from Zazu, who is trying to teach the cub another lesson on becoming king. Simba decides to run off, saying "...what if I don't want to be king? Sometimes I don't even want to be a lion!" He sees all the different animals at the water hole and notes that they have different colors, sizes, and shapes. Simba decides to get some help and finds Rafiki teaching other mandrills how to make black paint. After Rafiki leaves from his teachings, Simba approaches Babu, asking if he can help him, and Babu agrees. Later, Babu uses the black paint to paint some stripes on Simba's pelt to make him look like a zebra. At the same time, Nala sees and, with help from Babu, plays a joke on Simba.

Simba joins up with a zebra herd, including his zebra friend, Zebby, hoping Zazu will never find him. However, Zazu, who is flying above the zebra herd, sees Simba's disguise and decides to let Simba learn that zebras are black and white. After Simba walks up to Zebby, some zebras in his herd notice that it is Simba. After a little while, Simba gets bored, as zebras do nothing but graze in the grass all day long. Then Nala, with spotted spots of black paint on her pelt, pops out from a bush to scare Simba. The other zebras mistake Nala for a cheetah and run away in a stampede. Simba sees Nala's disguise, and a couple of cheetahs, hiding from the bushes, see the zebra herd run away. They pop out from behind the bushes and corner Simba and Nala at a cliff.

The cheetahs tell them that they are angry because the cubs scared away the zebras. Just then, Zebby and his herd cause a small landslide, and the cheetahs run off. After falling into a pool of water, Simba and Nala lose their stripes and spots. Zazu flies to them, telling them that Zebby saved them from the cheetahs. Simba states that it was very educational to be a different animal, but that he would rather stay a lion.
