Memories of a Happy Festival

Some belated pics of the 11th Budapest International Comics Festival, held exactly four weeks ago at Dürer Kert - same place as last year, and pretty much the ideal venue.


A little warm-up the day before the festival at Roham Bár, our regular drawing spot - sadly closed down in the meantime :(


In the morning of the festival, dedicated comics people making preparations.


Opening ceremony with the international guests. Left to right: Lucie Lomová (Czech Republic), Typex (The Netherlands), Pierre Wazem (Switzerland), Ptiluc (France) and Fabio Celoni (Italy). Presentation of guests done by Antal Bayer on behalf of the Hungarian Comics Association.


The comics fair. There was a real good turnout for the festival, facilitated by the not-so-chilly weather as last year.


The artists' corner. No specific assignment for this year but fun was had by all. Yours truly was even asked for advice by a potential comics maker. Wow!


YT was also involved as interpreter (hence sat in the middle) in a discussion with Lucie Lomová and Typex about their respective theatre crime comics and graphic novel on the life of Rembrandt.


Some cosplayers were also present and sort of stole the show when Euronews interviewed presenter Róbert Vass.


Almost finally, the items purchased. All well worth their prices.


Last but not at all least, Lucie Lomová's special dedication.

We had a good old time again, hope to see you next year!
