Billy the Spit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Billy the Spit (Billy The Speed in some magazines, original title: Billy The Pljuc) is a Serbian comic book series created by Branislav Kerac. Comic had been done during the period of 1980-1990, and very rarely , because it was just a hobby of very engaged authors (Kobra, Cat Claw, Tarzan etc) It used to be and still is a good fun. Caricaturised Man With No Name became loved by the readers of "Stripoteka". Simple drawings and jokes like Hogar's the Horrible made his populatity even bigger than the number of pages (32 black and white pages (Stripoteka), 2 coloured pages (Spunk), 16 strips (Stripoteka ) and 8 unpublished strips (because of the dark humour).

[edit] Film

Production firm "TERA FILM" from Novi Sad had made in 1986 an animated movie "Billy the Spit", it was the first movie based on a Serbian comic. The quality of animation was very low and the music an unsuitable parody of the song 'Oh, Sussane'), today is mainly forgotten.
