Author(s) about "Kalo Medvedis":

Our hero is based on various archetips of comics, pulp literature and cinematography, especially on Poliziotteschi (Italian pronunciation: [polittsjotˈteski]; plural of poliziottesco).

Of course, in our childhood, there was a lot of television series with incredible and heroic cops in the main role, with the Western European and Eastern European production- so called Euro-crime (except of course US production which was broadcast more massively after the fall of communism in 1989).

He is not a brilliant detective, nor is Stallone's Cobretti, but besides the bear's body, he has his strength and heart. Though he had long since given up on Luník IX, he returned there as guardian of law and order

. What sometimes may seem like his benevolence is not neglect of duty - he simply has to oscillate between the law and his roots. And maybe, we say- maybe he is based on a real cop you can still meet at L9. Because, on Lunik IX, on June 2, 2011, the Municipal (or Metro) Police Station was officially opened, with 9 cops on duty. Even though the city police had already been there before in temporary office, whic was so small, our hero hardly fits in there.

This comic(s) dubbed as "Black Bear" is neither a defense nor an indictment of one or the oth

er. It is rather a confession of contemporaries and a situation (in our case „case“) that was there at

the turn of the years 2009-2010.

Through the exploitation, poliziottesco and horror genres, we do not want to point out the guilt of one of the parties, the majority or the minority, but to point out the joys, worries, myths, religions, but mainly the horrors of the  the inhabitants or the employees of the state (and the city) of Luník IX. And to show that this badland in the middle of the metropolis jungle of Eastern Slovakia capital is not a nice place to live, even if there is a every day fight about it... but also die trying.

Comic was planned as "first" chapter of 3, consisting of ca. 35 pages, but cooperation with Ganeration magazine ended and autor(s) decided to finish the story. There is still a very little chance to continue it... You must not buy Generation magazine- but you should, it´s good- just read whole comic here, share it freely...its "abandoned", at least this version.

1.

Dnes to tu smrdí naozaj veľmi.

Ja som tu ešte nikdy nebola a na ÚPSVaR (Úrad Práce, Sociálnych vecí a Rodiny) som nastúpila len teraz...ale je to normálne, že je tu taký smrad..?!

2, Jáj Bože...

3, (SFX) BUM 4, (SFX) PRÁSK

5,  Och! Preboha!

6, Haha! Ta čo je?

7, Kentus.

Odveďte ju odtiaľto a počkajte ma dole. Toto už nie je robota pre vás.

8. ...jáj more, ta tu sa dobre mordovalo....

12, To som ja... máme tu situáciu....

(SFX) zvuk „praskania“ vysielačky Strana 3.:

1, Do pol hodinky dorazila štátna kriminálka a uzavreli to tam kvôli vyšetrovaniu. Ja som fajčil na chodbe a rozmýšľal. Chlapec predsa nebol problémový. Až na tú marihuanu, čo som mu predvčerom zobral, keď sa ju s kamarátmi pokúšal fajčiť pred komunitným centrom.

2, Chlapci dajte sem tú trávu (kávu ,marihuanu). Inak pôjdete do polepšovne!!! Padajte do školy!!

Haha, aha ho policajta...

3, Nevieš ani pozdraviť! Nehnevaj ma! 4, Dobrý deň, tučkocajt!

Ehehm.

5, Ja ťa predsa poznám? Kde to bývaš? Nech ideme za tvojou mamou.

Jááj! Mamáá!

6, Prečo plačeš?

Prosím pekne, nepovedzte to mame, lebo ma pošle do polepšovne! (event obmeň reedukačného centra)

7, dobre teda Jožko Balog. Ale ešte raz ťa prichytím! Bež do školy a pozdravuj mamu. A dávaj na seba pozor.

8, Bodaj by ťa duch (strašidlo, umrlec) poje...l!

9, Dobrá tráva! (káva ,marihuana) Dám si ju radšej ja.

Strana 4.:

1, Pátranie po chlapcovi sa v ten deň ukázalo pre štátnych vyšetrovateľov ako márne. Vzdal to dokonca aj aj policajný špecialista na rómsku menšinu. „ O Luníku IX viete pre makový, biely (gádža, gádžovia)“, pomyslel som si. Ja som tu vyrastal, až kým som sa neodsťahoval preč (načo tam bude názov obce..zbytočne). Ako decko som tu preliezol každý kút, ale keď bývalo v lete takto sparno ako dnes, vždy som sa rád potuloval po lesíku v tieni stromov. Pred koncom služby ma napadlo hľadať chlapca ešte tam.

(SFX) vrčanie motora (VROUM abo tak?)

2, (SFX) uff...

3, Ej, pán žandár! (policajt zastaralo) nedáte si Goju?

4, Ďakujem, ale musím si dávať pozor na váhu...

5, Ale k veci: Nevideli ste sa tu niekde potulovať malého Jožka Baloga?

6, Nie- naozaj pán policajt! (event prisahám)  ČO vyparatil? Ale veď vám neujde! Ostaňte tu ešte chvíľku s nami a budete ho hľadať ráno. Nehodno sa teraz navečer túlať lesom.

7, Lesných duchov sa ja nebojím!

8, Zbohom ostávajte!

Ide poštár ide, telegram mi nesie...

Strana 5.:

1, Hm?

Krá

2, Ušúľam si jointa, veď ma nik neuvidí, leda tak ten havran by to vykrákal.

3, Ká! Krá!

4, Salut! (Fr: Zdravíčko, zdravím)

More! (citoslovce neurčitého významu ...tam je, že morä- väčšinou to používajú v urážlivom slova zmysle)

8, (SFX) zvuk vysávača VZZZZ

(SFX) – PUF (akože sa premenil na žabu až puflo J )

9, Čo do kvak!?

11, (SFX) HOP

12, (SFX) jedenia (NOM NOM- by malo byť dokonca univerzálne, tak neviem či treba preklad)
