Talking Point The "four-leaf clover" comics
All kids in the Czech Republic know it - and most love it. "Ctyrlistek", or a four-leaf clover in Czech, is a children's comic magazine and a very popular collectable; you will find at least a few copies in virtually every household. The comic book, which has been around for more than thirty years, was named "Ctyrlistek" after its four main characters: a human-like cat called Myspulin, a dog called Fifinka, a pig named Bobik and a rabbit called Pinda. They live in a house together and experience all kinds of adventures. Although they must be well into their thirties, they still maintain their youthful appearance and spirit. It is difficult to explain the "Ctyrlistek" phenomenon to someone who has never waited for weeks for the latest issue to appear and never queued for hours to grab the last copy in the shop, like Czech kids used to in the years of socialism.
