Guitar Man

Guitar Man – Hello hello, my pretties! I’m back around here. Today I’m experimenting with “The Color (TM)”. From the beginning I filled the comic strips with B&W textures, from when I drew over paper, as scanning pictures 11 years ago produced low quality lines hard to fill with GIMP. The textures (actually, lines) where added over vegetable paper when inking, then scanned. And when starting with digital drawing, I kept the procedure because textures are easy to add. But seen the previous strip, it is possible that adding color is not an issue anymore (with so few time to draw, I have to optimize time, and coloring has an overtime). If it goes well, I’ll keep the color on strips!

In other order of things, the Guitar Man! One guy at the copy center, and the Telecogresca association, that every afternoon brought a guitar to the cafeteria terrace, playing always the same three chords (C, F, G) for years. The CPET Copy Center and Telecogresca were a black hole where students entered and remained there for life, becoming part of the Campus people. When the copy center was close, all that fauna was lost forever 🙁

Diet (Part 2)

Diet (Part 2) – “…and that’s called Jazz!”. Hop! Special edition for Christmas season. “Double” issue tonight, following the previous one.

How’s Christmas going? Do you have some holidays and vacation days? I joined all my remaining vacation days of this year (plus days in the labor agreement, plus official days). So they won’t see me much these days in the lab.

Have a happy holiday, and take care with the all the food!

The Cluster (Part 2)

The Cluster (Part 2) – Hello! I’m back at home in Barcelona, and here I bring the last JSR issue, prepared before packing my stuff.

Casal Stories: The famous “Cheetos-Eater” got 10 machines (this is four times 2.5 machines, and this is terrible) from the Student Council, to build a cluster for his association (in which he was the only member). It was suspected he hid pornography, but not in the same levels of sophistication than the Linux-UPC association. He brought the electric grid down every time he started the cluster.

The Cluster (Part 1)

The Cluster (Part 1) – Hello hello! Finally I could finish this week’s (actually last’s) issue. The Surface I brought on tour didn’t let me finish things on time, as it starts flickering after some time working. Luckily I’ll be at home in December, with the good tools to do stuff.

Meanwhile, there’s Steffy and Bill with the Moskovskaia post-mortem.
