Greetings my dear readers!

I am really sorry, i ended up posting yesterday’s comic… today.  I had an interesting weekend of sorts.  Quite a departure from the usual routine, and ended up all tangled up in things that took time away from my “web comic creation time”.

Anyhow, this last comic kicks off a new mini arc.  Hope you like it. It will have some really cool things in it… and is quite close to home on a few things eh!

I want to thank you all for your kind comments, and for dropping by.  You really RAWK!

Would you imagine my surprise when i read THIS article on the most renowned newspaper here in Panama, and find myself face to face with a news blurb that reads:

“Harrison Ford, and all the cast of the quite anticipated The Avengers movie, attended the International San Diego Comic Con, Comic-Con (it ended yesterday), to the surprise of all Fans there.”

What the fuck dude? I mean, what else would a person attending the SDCC would expect?  The best thing is that not only they managed to confuse the casual comic reader by indirectly implying that Ford is part of the Avengers cast, but managed to compress four days worth of comic and pop culture news in those lines.

Because, you know, that is ALL that happened there, you know.  Four days, and the only noteworthy thing was Harrison Ford, and the Avengers cast… whom he might be a part of, or not… as you wish.

I love our local journalism!

Sheesh!

Well… This year’s Comic-Con has come and went as fast as it got here.  Yet again, i didn’t go.  As a matter of fact, i only know one single lonely countryman that has ever been there, about 3 years ago.  Dude used to own the only comic book store here.  We no longer have comic book shops here.

That blows bloated dead rat’s ass in gravy if you ask me. (more…)

Saturday, we went to La Lucha.

It was hot, steamy, packed and totally fucking awesome!  There were 30 wrestlers on the LXN roster, fighting on a Royal Rumble type of thing… where once the initial two dudes got it on, they had, every two minutes, another wrestler joining the fight.

The cool thing about this is that the LXN just got a lot of new fighters, from another league that went down or something.

And everyone and their freaking aunt were there. EVERYONE!  We managed to score ring side tickets -VIPs if you ask at the box office- early on, but decided to wait till the line got shorter to walk in.  Sadly, by the time we did, there were no more chairs available, so we had to haggle and steal and outsmart people whenever a wrestler would get thrown over to the audience -a big thing here in Extreme Panamanian Wrestling- and secure some seating arrangements.

I must be honest here and let you know that i am not a big fan of wrestling.  When i was a kid i watched the WWF on tv every sunday, like any other kid my age… but i knew back then that to be a big show.  But going to the Lucha here, you get caught on the popular euphoria of the place.  The matches are not that important, but the actual shouting, and screaming and yelling: an excellent place to let you blow steam and enjoy with your friends while some dudes deck i out in front of you.

Kinda makes you understand what was it like to go to the Roman Coliseum back then…
