I freaking love your "comics" (better called surreal output --verbose). The mix of Foss/hacker mixed topics mixed with tons of LSD kind of cyberpunk characters and a hint of comedy/craziness.

Well adding to that the amazing artwork and the unique drawing style.

In a few words: Foss driven Cruelty Squad like with hints of unavoidable depression.

And you are. You've found the place where we found the sanctuary we've had been looking for for so long ...

In all seriousness - I really enjoy your art. I look forward to seeing more of it.

And the surrealist automata thing is pretty cool.

And I just started hacking some stuff together to learn the gopher protocol. Your comment is well timed 😊

Reading this almost felt like being given permission. I've had a project in the back of my mind for the past year, but it's kinda pointless and would probably be controversial. For all I talk about software being fundamentally a creative process, I've never really considered treating it like art

Andre Breton and Vitezslav Nezval made me do it!
