520 "This debut graphic novel tells the story of the 2015
European “migrant crisis” in Budapest, Hungary through
the perspective of Langosh and Peppi, a vagabond and his
faithful dog. The pair brings to mind an older, down-on-
their-luck Tintin and Snowy with adventures to match. A
semi-autobiographical work based on Post’s own experiences
, Langosh and Peppi escape the pressures of conformity by
exploring out-of-the-way places, where they stumble on the
vestiges of the war torn region’s hidden past. We follow
them through streets, alleys, tunnels, train stations,
cheap rooms, abandoned buildings and the countryside and
witness the effects of various social, political and
interpersonal situations through their eyes. The story
illustrates a sort of “Huckleberry Finn” existence, of
travelling freely with no responsibilities except finding
food and shelter, and meeting fascinating people along the
way. However, Langosh and Peppi soon discover the stark
difference between choosing a transient lifestyle, and
being forced from one’s home and country. We meet people
whose tragic personal struggles are enmeshed with the
national struggles that continue to divide and destroy so
many lives, see families torn apart due to ignorance and
fear, and witness the disturbing global rise of
nationalism. Influenced by Hideo Azuma, Joe Sacco, and
Julie Doucet, Post examines the modern dilemma of what it
means to be human and to call a place home."--|cProvided
