Comics : 2021 Bosnia-Herzegovina - Post of Srpska

2021-Dec-10

The existence of comics is associated with the emergence of mass media. Although it initially existed as additional entertainment for newspaper readers, it soon became an independent medium or, as one likes to say, "the ninth art". At the beginning of 1997, the first comic magazine began to appear in Republika Srpska. The first issue of the magazine "The sad Notebook" appears in the edition of the house "Media-centar Prelom" in Banja Luka. During 2007, the "First Exhibition of Serbian Comics" was set up in Laktasi, and in 2008 the first comic book salon was held - "Laktasi 2008". Author: Dejan Sijuk

Tex Avery - Droopy : 2008 France

2008 Postage Stamp Festival

Droopy is an animated character from the golden age of American animation. He is an anthropomorphic white Basset Hound with a droopy face. He was created in 1943 by Tex Avery  for theatrical cartoon shorts produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio. Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a jowly monotone voice, and—though hardly an imposing character—is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies.

The stamps feature the 1945 animated cartoon short Wild and Woolfy, where Droopy is paired with the Big Bad Wolf, now playing a cowboy criminal called "Joe" Wolf in this cartoon, kidnaps the cowgirl singer, Red (played by Red Hot from Red Hot Riding Hood) from Rig-R-Mortis saloon
