Poď!
The comic Come! tells the story of Samuel, who unexpectedly ends up with a dog named Linda after a breakup. The dog becomes a living reminder of his past relationship. At the same time, Samo tries to cope with work pressure, an unhappy client, health issues, and a neglected friendship. During the presentation, this autofictional story about a period of personal uncertainty and everyday complications becomes a starting point for a discussion about its creation, the blending of reality and fiction, and the subtle relationship between a human and a dog.
