    68 x 5 minute episodes

    52 x 5 minute episodes

    This animated series from Hungary featured hapless everyman Gustav and his misadventures through the hardships of life in an Eastern Bloc society.

    Regardless of the scenario, Gustav was always on the receiving end whenever there was trouble.

    Widely broadcast in Eastern Europe, the series also aired in the UK, New Zealand and Western Europe because the stories featured no dialogue, just cartoon-style sound effects and jazzy music.
