The Fugezi© Museum Project Page under Construction- Will cover Belgian comic strip art, in particular the classic 'Suske and Wiske' and 'Tintin' narratives . Comic Strip art is very popular in Flanders. A comic strip from the U.S. Library of Congress has temporarily been used for this site because almost almost all comic strip art is copyrighted.

| The Fugezi© Museum, a side-enterprise of Calidocious® Inc., seeks to popularize this style of art, as art. The name Fugezi©, also spelled 'Fughezi®' is derived from an american slang word 'fugazi', meaning 'knock-off'.
Currently the Fugezi© Museum only contains copys of Flemish and Dutch masterpieces which are in the public domain. As interest in the museum project grows, Calidocious® Inc. hopes to upgrade the collection to included copyrighted Belgian comic strip art. Hopefully, the museum can eventually be dedicated exclusively to comic-strip and still-cartoon art.
|
| In addition to a brick and mortar collection, Calidocious® Inc. also hopes to create a virtual collection of Comic Strip art that can be viewed with tablet computers like I Pads.
The Fugezi Collection© is currently housed at the "Little Calidocious®" Guest
House at 2331 Somerset Ave., San Leandro, CA 94548. As of Jan. 2011, the
collection con be viewed by appointment only,. Tours are $10. For
more information, or to schedule a tour, please contact
