Grillo - re your email
When I said that both your blogs were down I meant you and MATT.
Not your other blogs.
I sent the email to both of you.
I do apologise.
Cyclop in glasses-is excellent!
Elliot: okgrillo is on again after a hyatus..And Matt Jonz's too.
Andrei: If a cyclop was shortsighted he would need glasses like anybody else.
Genial el dibujo sobre Orwell, su "Homenaje a Cataluña" un libro fantastico que nos aleja de los totalitarismos.
Tenía ganas de volver a pasarme por aquí. Todavía merece la pena :-P
Claro que los cíclopes tienen los mismos problemas de vista que todos los demás. Salvo la bizquera, quizás.
Asi es, Deluria.. inclusive, las gafas resultan mas baratas asi. El mas grave problema del cyclope el el llanto...Y ni que hablar de la basurita en el ojo!
Lindo oir tu voz en el eter.
Ah, se me olvidaba y nuestro comun amigo Rai Ferrer hizo la portada de la edicion española.
Que casualidad tan propicia y agradable!
Grillo - if you don't mind.
I often know who you are referring to (such as George Orwell) but I don't always pick the tribute.
What Orwellian business is going on here? The salute?
Orwell wrote "Homage To Catalonia" about the events of May 1937 in Barcelona during the Spanish civil war. The communists and the Trotskyites (The POUM) fought each other instead fighting Franco. The communists accused Andres Nin, The POUM's leader of treason and murdered him in prison. Stalin had a good laugh and the Spanish Republicans lost the war...What does this picture has to do with it?...F**k knows!
The Cyclops has a passing resemblance to Andres Nin.
Oh man! It's been awhile since I've been here! Awesome work! Always inspiring stuff:)
Thank you Rabbi Grillo.
Mazel tov, Elliotele.
