Starting page

George: So how did all that turmoil start in the village?

Panel 1

Colin: I didn’t let them harass the girl. It’s not on where we come from.

Panel 2

Pip: And concerning the wine, we usually settle these situations by meaningful discussion back home.

George: Great customs you have. However, you’d better not discuss anything with Count Ulrik’s thugs unless you have a weapon.

Colin: So far I thought you were all up against the Turks.

George: That would be an improvement.

Panel 4

George: Tomorrow we’re leaving early and going on through the forest. It takes longer but safer.

Ulrik: Not for sure, Mister George. Your new friends have caused me enough trouble already.

Panel 5

Ulrik: Time to take care of this business. (to the butler) Get me Kaspar!

Panel 6

Ulrik: I’ll give you one more chance. Take your men and bring those three here.

Kaspar: We’ll do our best, Sire.

Ulrik: I highly recommend that. Don’t bother to return here without them.

Panel 7

Butler: Do you want your herbal tea, my lord?

Ulrik: Of course. I won’t let those scoundrels give me stomach pain.

Panel 1

George: Wake up, sleepyheads! Time to go!

Pip: Now? It’s hardly even dawning.

Panel 2

Pip: (Yawn!) I could have used a coffee. And a bite for breakfast too.

George: Oh, give me a break…

Panel 3

George: You’re such splendid company! One is daydreaming all the time and the other can’t stop criticizing. Wait till we get to Lord Corvin…

Pip: I wouldn’t mind being there already! I’m feeling like a target here.

Panel 4

Kaspar: Will they ever get here…?

Panel 5

Thug1: It’s getting darn hot!

Panel 6

Thug 1: Anyways, lying in wait in bushes is not in our contract if I remember well.

Kaspar: What contract? The deal was that the Count doesn’t have us hanged if we work for him. Which reminds me, have we got the rope?

Thug 2: Sure, I do.

Panel 7

Kaspar: Awesome. Tie ‘em up real tight, especially the little pipsqueak and his sad-faced pal.

We cannot fail this time!

Panel 1

George: Also, you’ll have the chance to tell him what business you actually have around here.

Colin: Well, that might take up some of his time…

Panel 2

Kaspar: Stop, in the name of Count Ulrik!

Panel 3

Pip: What are we gonna do now?

George: You’re the smart guy, think of something!

Panel 4

Kaspar: No tricks, please. Kindly get off the cart so that we can tie you up. The Count can’t wait to see you.

Panel 5

Pip: Certainly, at once. Can I ask you a riddle first?

Panel 6

Kaspar: What?! You’ll regret it if you’re taking the piss.

Thug 1: Wait, wait! You know how much I love riddles!

Panel 7

Kaspar: Fine. You have one minute.

Panel 8

Pip: Right away: “Who says my name, destroys me immediately!”

Welcome and behold good-old Piroska!

So, welcome to my outlet and advertising spot for the artwork I attempt to produce when the spirit moves me. I would suffice introducing myself to say that I'm a bloke residing mostly in Budapest, who still hasn't defined his place in the world completely, although he's slowly but steadily leaving his youth behind.

You can read the story of how I became interested once again in reading and making comics here:http://egysaltamontes.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-comic-book-revival-probably-everyone.html

where you can actually see the following 2 page story, which may look like repetition, but as this is my comic blog from now on, it has actually taken its rightful place. So here's the modern and modified interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood (in Hungarian Piroska), in which she goes in a bar to ask directions for her Granma's place and comes upon a rather likeable woolf, but in the end a violent and "dominant " Granma breaks up their party.

If you got so far, you surely noticed that the text is in Hungarian, which is also the case with all my recent comics. Then why is the blog in English? Apart from aspiring to fame, it is in order that my friends living in other parts of the world can also look of my stuff. How will they know what is it about? Hopefully this issue will be soon dealt with as text in comics is often just as important as the images.
Some genuinely new material will be visible soon, I can responsibly promise that.
