Cliché, imagen e interés
Por cierto, en esta clase de cosas existe la tendencia de mirar por encima del hombro del dibujante que está haciendo la cubierta y empezar a hablar sobre cuero, botas hasta los muslos y espadas desnudas.Adjetivos como «llenos», «redondos» e incluso «vivaces» empiezan a colarse en la narración hasta que el escritor tiene que darse una ducha fría y acostarse un rato.Lo cual es bastante estúpido, porque ninguna mujer que se gane la vida con su espada va a ir por ahí con aspecto de haberse escapado de un catálogo de lencería de esos que se envían por correo y en sobres discretos. La luz fantástica. Terry Pratchett. Es estúpido,…

Why are comics and poems alike 7: closure p2
If you take a look at a circle missing a little bit of the whole perimeter line, your brain will do the rest and you will perceive the shape as a full circle. Whether there is no circle in a way that is called closure in Gestalt and might not be related to the usual closure talked about in Literature circles. This idea of closure brings up symbolic relationships used by the images of the poem that most of us know as metaphor and metonymies. This last one as in the one where the reader does the closure job and is very similar to “the part for the whole”

Rejection
Today I said no.I don't believe.Fate is too much a thing outside of me.Whether I said yes,It was fated a meet.A rejection?Brought by stars as well.Orchestrated by who knows.And the unknown why,No one could explain.Where does it fall,The only thing I find purposely in life?Decision is mine.Atoms are hazard in play.The universe's got no mind.Everything comes by,Just like that.Herefore,It was doomed sad.Worst!It was a letter that wasn't a letter.An invitation!Nothing I would want.I write letters to be replied.Yes!As letters, right?

Lectura degenerada
En Estados Unidos tradicionalmente se había desalentado que los esclavos leyesen (sobre la base de que solo podrían alcanzar un «conocimiento inútil»), porque la idea de una población negra alfabetizada se consideraba peligrosa, tanto, de hecho, que las leyes que en algunos estados impedían que se enseñara a leer a los negros eran muy rígidas, y se aplicaban duros castigos a aquellos esclavos a quienes se sorprendiera con cualquier otro libro que no fuera la Biblia. Contra la lectura. Mikita Brottman. Blackie books. [The Solitary Vice (Counterpoint, 2008)]. En este caso, no es que fuera mala la lectura en sí. Lo que era malo es que pudieran enterarse de otra…

Why are comics and poems alike 7: closure p1
OR AS A SECOND TITLE: A WORD I COULDN’T FIND ANYWHERE SPEAKING ABOUT POETRY AND THE LESS ABOUT COMICS WHEN I WROTE ABOUT THIS IN SPANISH However, I’m not that great looking things ups and it has been enough about why poems and comics are alike in this series of copyist entries (since Adolfo Ballesteros was the chap who did it first and I’m only refuting his ideas with little to none authority according to other men). Nonetheless, that was before I translated this and found out that any Oxford dictionary can have a number of definitions destroying my affirmations regarding not finding the word. CLOSURE 4. a sense of resolution…

That wall
I'll walk that wall.Leave behind,Every dream that was trashed.Plunge into the sea,Proud and abide.Linked to my own colour of time.Everything I wanted untrue by design.No matter the scars,I'll look down upon.Upon that long entrance,Where darkness gulps you entire.I'll walk that wall.That's all I call.

La gran pregunta de todo cuenta cuentos
Contar relatos efectivos no es fácil. La dificultad no estriba en contarlos, sino en convencer a todos y cada uno para que se los crean. Gran parte de la historia gira alrededor de esta cuestión: ¿cómo convence uno a millones de personas para que crean determinadas historias sobre dioses, o naciones, o compañías de responsabilidad limitada? Sapiens. Yuval Noah Harari Y no es que los escritores vayamos tan lejos. Nos conformamos con 10,000 personas. Qué viene a ser mucho menos de los creyentes que tienen ciertos cuentos. Cómo Nintendo o… [ inserte el nombre de la religión rival porque la propia no es ningún cuento]. ¿Cuál es la mayor historia…

Why are comics and poems alike 6: are really metrics and comics compatible? p2
Metrics are not compatible to vignettes, Metrics deal with sound units and the vignettes are image units. Plus, there are no clear conventions about the number of vignettes or chomas used on page; like there used to be about poems. A beat is not centered in the how it happens but in the what and; seemingly, it is a way to subdivide a story de same way an outline divides into chapters and scenes. As such, beats explain how to subdivide things into scenes but nothing about measuring thus beats are not what integrates metrics into comics. Measuring, outside the number of pages, seems incompatible to comic. Comics, though some…
