End-of-year 2: Comics

And now it's time to call it a year with two one pagers made in December.

The first one is another result of my reminiscing on Hungary's last appearance at a major football tournament as we finally qualified again for one after 30 years (see previous post). The last time around we thought our team was quite strong, so it was devastating to see them lose 0-6 to the Soviet Union as a nine year old. Better luck this time, lads!




 The other one is more cheeky, as it comments on an issue that stirred up public sentiments quite high before Christmas in our fair country. Long story short, Ákos, a big-headed local pop star made some rather arrogant statements on what fulfilment women should strive for in life. Hungarian Telekom terminated his sponsorship as a result, which made the government resentful, as he is very well loved by them, even received a high state award after they had come to power.

I'm willing to provide an English text, should it be in serious demand :o)

Now, that is really all for 2015. Happy New Year Folks!

End-of-year 1: drawings

Hey People,

A penultimate post before 2015 winds up, the last batch of the year's drawings only for you ;o)

At first, Pique, the mascot of the Mexico 86 World Cup. My thoughts wandered back to the last major tournament Hungary's national team had qualified - and the first one I followed as kid -, as the lads finally made it to next years' European Championship. No big expectations this time around, though.

Now, a real quick 5 minute sketch, depicting a swashbuckling swordman. These doodlings can be very refreshing.

Another quick sketch, this time of my favourite Hungarian actress, Eszter Ónodi.

The odd one out in the batch, a portrait of yours truly drawn by the utterly brilliant artist and comics maker Gergely Madarász.

Finally behold Roque Ja, a giant (and talking) mountain lion from Jeff Smith's epic comic saga, Bone.

Stay tuned tomorrow to end the old year with some newly made comics!
