Long time no see... I'm quite shocked my PR guys did not post any work-in-progress or other sort of pictures in the last couple of months, but now here's my new comic.
An adaptation of a tale by Andersen, the longest comic story I have completed so far.
The idea was conceived during the Hungarian Comics Association's comics making course this spring.
Panel 1
Ronaldinho missing!
The former Golden Ball-winner football star did not
return to his home in Rio de Janeiro after his team’s victory (Atlético Mineiro
3 Cruzeiro 1) last weekend in the playoffs of the Brazilian National League.
Details coming soon!
Panel 2
Princess: OOOOOh!
Panel 3
Princess: (thinking) Oh, I hope he’s alright… Now I
have to train for the keepie-uppie competition!
Panel 1
Princess: Oops!
Panel 2
Princess: NOOO!!!
Panel 4
Princess: (sobbing)
Panel 5
Unknown voice: Why are you crying, princess?
Panel 8
Princess: Were that you speaking?
Frog: Yes that was me. So, why are you crying?
Panel 9
Princess: How could I not cry when Ronaldinho disappeared,
and now the gilded ball he had signed for me fell into the lake!
Panel 10
Princes: Now how will I enter the keepie-uppie
competition?
Panel 11
Frog: I can retrieve your ball if you enter the
competition with me in doubles!
Panel 1
Princess: With you…?? …Okay, for sure!
Panel 4
Frog: Hey there!
Panel 5
Princess: Wow, thank youuuu!!
Panel 6
Frog: Hey, wait up! How about the competition?
Princess: Thank youuuu
Panel 7
Narration: Two days later, at the keepie-uppie
competition…
Presenter: Holy Molly, that was an amazing performance
by the competitor from Swansea.
But now, it’s the turn of our very own prodigy!
Panel 8
Princess: Yes, yes! Coming right now!
Panel 1
Princess: Hello everybody! It’s great that so many of
you are here today!
Frog: Hold it there, princess!
Panel 2
Frog: You promised to play keepie-uppie doubles with
me here, if I retrieved your ball from the lake, but then you left me standing.
Now, how’s that fair?!
Panel 3
Princess: (thinking) Ooooh…. Shiiiite
Referee: Your majesty?
Panel 4
King: My daughter, is this frog speaking the truth?
Panel 5
Princess: Well… he retrieved my ball indeed, but…
King: Then you will play doubles with him!
Princess: (thinking) Oh, that sucks…
Panel 6
Princess: Alright frog, let’s be done with it!
Everyone’s laughing at me, I hope that makes you happy!
Panel 8
Crowd: OOOOOOH, Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho: Thank you so much, Princess!
Panel 9
Princess:: Wowaayyyuuuooohhh…. And this now how?
Ronaldinho: An evil voodoo warlock turned me into a
frog after last weekend’s game. He had surely bet some money against us… I had
to find a princess who would play keepie-uppie with me!
Panel 1
King: Well, this is all very joyful! But could we see
that keepie-uppie at last?
Panel 2
Ronaldinho: Your Majesty’s wish is my command! I
recommend everyone to watch closely!
Panel 3
Narration: It was definitely worth watching… This was
probably the most splendid keepie-uppie that the folks have ever seen around
here.
Crowd: Wooow! Hooo! Heyyy!
Panel 4
Narration: Although few could wait until the end.
Referee: Two thousand five hundred, two thousand five
hundred and one….
Panel 5
Ronaldinho certainly returned home after the
competition….
Panel 6
But the princess did not grieve because of this.
Panel 7
Dear Princess!
We are glad to notify you that on the basis of the
remarkable result you achieved during the qualifier, you have entered into the
final of the Keepie Uppie World Cup.
Panel 8
Narration: But who is she going to play doubles with
in the final?
The End
