Ye Olde Days


Wow, some time went by since I drew this page. Great days working on an improvised graphic novel with my friends Marcelo Vignali and Armand Serrano.
I certainly still do enjoy the memories! We were coming up with the story as it went, each one of us creating new characters as they were needed. Dinga Man (here with the red bandana) was Marcelo's idea.

Oh, thanks for the memories! I really enjoyed this project, it's a shame we couldn't keep it going. It was fun while it lasted, and I learned a lot watching you put your comic page together.

Hola maese Marcos,
Eso que hacéis Marcelo y tú no está nada bien. Ponernos los dientes largos con vuestros piratas para luego no seguir…
Los fans queremos verlo terminado y en papel, a ser posible.
Abrazos
