LUKÁŠ CSICSELY & NIKOLA HOŘENÍ (CZ) – ABOUT SYSIFOS A DOR BEETLE

Exhibition

Saturday, October 12, 2024 at 2:45 PM


Sysi has the biggest ball of the whole Dorbeetle Town. It's so big it won't fit in his burrow, so he parks it in the garage. But what's that? One night, somebody starts taking bites out of it. And that's an unforgivable offence in Dorbeetle Town! Sysi begins to search for the culprit, and before he uncovers him (and nearly wreaks havoc on the peaceful Dorbeetletown), he introduces the reader to the history and present of the Dorbeetle Town, which is almost like a human world. Only almost, because in a more cultured sort of way... it smells!


The comic contains not only a paraphrase of the Greek myth of Sisyphus and useful lessons (like that revenge doesn't pay, or that you shouldn't judge a beetle by its ball), but lots of gags and a thrilling investigation! It will be best read by parents and children, but will also be appreciated by lovers of nature and good humour.
