Dr. Bubó

XIV. District (ZUGLÓ) Hungarian Childhood

"Kérem a következőt!" (1973–1983) is a legendary Hungarian animated series by Pannónia Filmstúdió. Dr. Bubó, an owl, runs his practice inside an oak tree and treats the sick forest dwellers there, assisted by Nurse Ursula – usually with mixed success. Kolodko placed the figure on 10 August 2026 on the fence of the Bethesda Children's Hospital (founded 1866) in the Zugló district, on top of the corner post. One step below sits his most prominent patient (see "The Recovering Rabbit").

The sharp-witted dialogue was written by József Romhányi, nicknamed ’the rhyme-thrower.’ He also wrote the scripts for «Mekk Elek» and «Mézga család», and translated The Flintstones into Hungarian. Dr. Bubó is assisted by Nurse Ursula, a bear, her name derives from the Latin word for bear. She harbors tender feelings for the doctor, who remains a committed bachelor. Kolodko installed the figure in August 2026, marking the 160th anniversary of Bethesda Children’s Hospital.

AddressOn the fence of Bethesda Children’s Hospital, corner of Hermina út/Bethesda utca — up on the corner post.
