Exposição colectiva de banda desenhada portuguesa patente até dia 27 de Abril com festa de encerramento dia 25 de Abril, o dia da nossa liberdade colectiva.

Abril está em risco porque quem está confortável com o sistema faz parte do problema mas agem como se fizessem parte da solução. Um dia acordarão sozinhos no escuro, e alguém lhes dará a mão porque vai ficar tudo bem.

Há que violentar o sistema, com palavras, músicas e desenhos. Claro!

Obrigado e até breve,

R.

TERRA QUEIMADA / SCORCHED EARTH

#666

-crowns made of flies over the heads of the lords of the world who are perpetually enabling inequality! They've got the world on their hands and our colective's fate inside their pockets...

-none will remember their names after they die and because of that they will cry with fear in the dark, it's their secret...

-with their great wealth they corrupt western democracies that would rather consent the end of the world than the end of capitalism, for nothing...

-already in ancient Greece the slaves of democracy used to say;

"power has many faces, all of them are ugly"

CARNE PARA CANHÃO

Olás!

Então, ouviram-se rumores de que o barco fantasma encalhado em terras de ninguém, também conhecido como Atelier ABRACADABRA, havia desaparecido ou zarpado para outras paragens...

Não não! Não passou de fake news.

A lutuosa oficina de ansiogénicos afazeres continua no seu lugar de sempre, situada no coração negro da velha Vulgária, ops... Quis dizer Coimbra. Não só o meu querido Atelier ABRACADABRA continua no seu lugar, como é oficialmente um dos vários pontos de distribuição do jornal CARNE PARA CANHÃO!

Ah, e é também o primeiro, e até ver, o único atelier de Banda Desenhada Contemporânea Portuguesa em Coimbra. (Tinha que o dizer)

Venham buscar o vosso exemplar, é gratuito!

CARNE PARA CANHÃO; perguntar-me-iam? Bom, este é o jornal da associação Chili Com Carne e aqui fica o manifesto oficial:

"A Chili Com Carne tornou-se numa enorme corporação com uma implantação em vários mercados - da culinária à livreira, da cimenteira à fonográfica - e o que faz uma empresa quando ganha um estatuto pujante?

Simples!

Investe nos seus próprios meios de comunicação e propaganda!!

Assim que surge Carne para Canhão, um jornal semestral anual que pretende informar uma nova geração de leitores sobre romances gráficos e cultura URbana.

Neste primeiro número participam na frente de combate 40 Ladrões, Alexandra Saldanha, Amanda Baeza, André Lemos (capa), Ângela Cardinhos, Francisco Sousa Lobo, João Carola, Luís Barreto, Nunsky, Rodolfo Mariano e Rui Moura - que fez o design da publicação. E há (oh não! que seca, ter de ler sobre BD!) textos para LER de Marcos Farrajota e Nuno de Sousa.

Locais de distribuição gratuita:

Linha de Sombra, Kingpin, Tigre de Papel, ZDB, Tinta nos Nervos, Snob, Neat Records (Lisboa), Atelier Abracadabra (Coimbra), Paperview (Leiria), Carmo'81 (Viseu) e + em breve..."

Saquei daqui.

Obrigado e até à vista,

R.

-Hi, Maria Luísa.

-Ma'am.

-Sorry I'm late, how's the procession going?

-It's alright.

-I've got two, both alive.

-They're tough little bastards.

-Yeah, although one of mine's gone.

'A few hours later...'

-Your highness..

-(bird language) 

-Yes yes, I'm done for today. Tomorrow I'll tell you a story about how it all started, the beginning of the end of the New Dark Ages. 

-And that's that.

-"Castle of Evil"

-I've felt a cold shiver running down my spine and now I'm having a bad feeling!

-But my lady Empress, have you heard anything?

-No no, it's nothing. Must have been the wind.

-Justice it's the fertile mother of social equality. 

-Uh?

-Nevermind that.

-Did you read that quote somewhere?

-I did.

-Figured..

-Alright, but look. That's something awesome to write in the castle walls:

"Morals and justice without an ethical order are the mother tonge of illegitimate power"

-What the fuck, you too? 

What about if you write "all power it's illegitimate" too?

-Shut up!

-Ouch..

'In the meanwhile, while the nighttime flew away, a little big croud gathered around the Cervantes Tavern's doors - "a place where all the Vaudeville meets" - and by the looks of it, right now it's also the place where grand revolutions start...'

-...

-Never ever before had the Cervantes Tavern sheltered so many patrons. From night to day, they've closed their yearly billbook and made enough to pay their debts left on moratorium.

-People came from all-over the galaxy and beyond to fight for freedom, social justice, better wages and quality of work life and quality of living, and most importantly to demand a real economy, without evil. Some came only to seek new adventures, others came to experience new things. I've barely scratched the story and History of the Great Grand Revolution but you have to excuse me little friends, it's getting late and I have stuffs to do..

'A while later, after much venting, explanations and updates'

-I wonder why we've fought, after all.

-We sacrificed our lives to serve an Evil Empire.

-Vanquished galaxies under iron fists of frost and fire and steel, unglorious glory.

-We've all been scammed by our employers.

-It's so creepy how we'd served tyrants and their Reigns of Horror so willingly.

-Worse is serving evil without knowing, we looked aside and now it might be too late...

-They payed their worth in gold to contracted mercenaries, evil warriors and the kind but it was we who did the ugly work.

-It's not fair, after all we did now we don't even have a roof to sleep under.

-Empty pockets it's all we've got.

-Pfff, welcome to our club.

-It's unfair.

-Yeah man, it sucks.

-The great economancer Morx used to said that Justice serves only the dominant established Morals.

-Oh no, here he comes again..

-Calm down, Maria Luísa!

-They're friends.

-I'm sorry, force of habit...

-Light is dim in this place too.

-Hey!

-I won't serve no more drinks unless you pay the bill of what you've drank so far!

-Take it, and keep the change!

-Uff.

-Well, comrades. What news do you bring?

-Too many..

-And too many bad news. For a start we're deserters, we've left the Army of Darkness. 

-You're welcome then!

-A meeting like this one could never be arranged on a whim.

-Uh?

-We're all very sad because of the missing persons although there's still hope and there are beautiful things to enjoy all around. My favorite things are the Springtime flowers and the Sunlight by late afternoon. Some people look angry and pissed most of the time and they don't seem to care anymore about the littlest things.

-But I suppose it's normal with such darkness at our front door.

-The most cynical among us only talk about cool things between their long time acquaintances and friends. There's too little trust these days. Princess Julieta declared that people must be nice to their neighbours or they will be punished and grounded for a week without listening to Rock and Roll. Needless to say that half the village is grounded. Oh well... We still have the Sunday communal banquet regardless of this crisis.

-And, we hold hands and dance around the fire every odd Saturday...

-Hmmm, interesting. I would love to visit and know more about your village in the Heart of The Enchanted Forest.

-Finally we've arriv....

-Halt! You shall not pass.

-Damn. I'm thirsty...

'Moments later...'

-Can we count with the Magic Village in The Enchanted Forest's help?

-In The Enchanted Forest we're all split up and divided apart between different groups, unfortunately.

-Some of us will only speak to flappy ears persons and others only hang around with spooky toothy people...

It sucks man.

-Firstly, before I can be useful I really need help to free my comrade buddies from the Black Dungeons. Then I'll need to show The Council of the Elders that the fight for justice it's an Universal Quest for Freedom.

-Our struggle for a more just galaxy must be more important than our individual differences and the fucking identity groups that only divide us instead of unite us.

-What an interesting entropy.

-Yeah, that's plenty common in Graveland. 

-How so?

-Well, as long as there are more and more different identity groups and selfish public interests grow among the common people the easier it gets for big smelly ass tyrants and small time little shits tyrants to divide and conquer and take power to strive in their own hierarchical fiefdooms which are the backbone of the Evil's System. Fuck...

-Treachery, Manipulation, Falsity, these are the rules of the game in this New Dark Ages. Although, I didn't know nor foreseen The Enchanted Forest being a target of the awful sinister Marketing and Advertising Departments that serve and support the evil Sarcocapitalism.

-Marketing and Advertising are the favorite instruments of mental torture of Necropopulist regimes.

-The Inquisitor has fallen! The god forsaken tyrant was assassinated by a lone adventurer. I've heard the rumours, not seen myself. In the Criptadel everyone's on the streets, the sun shines bright once again over the city, the thick veil of tyranny is ripped apart. Hear, winds of changes are blowing, the earth smiles and even the dead sing in their shallow graves! Revolution.

-There's already an artist working on a sculpture portraying the anonymous revolutionary!

-The Iron Tower is aflame!

-However, the Eldricht Graveyard's still haunted and none dare to cross it's old moldy rusted gates.

-Man, I need a fucking drink...

-Me too!

-Unholy shit! Good news, for a change.

-Let's raid the castle then!

-Not so fast!

-The Dark Bitch even without the support of other Tyrant Lord she's still a force to be reckoned with!

-Nothing but fucking scorched land where no life dwell and haunted ruins.

-Even though in ruins and haunted as a broken heart all those properties are real estate belonging to Criptadel's assface posh bourgeoisie and snotty highborn aristocrats. Not to mention the whole lot of boring public servants of the Inquisition who own part of it too...

-Oh really? Didn't know any of that. Shit.

-I've heard rumours of sentries, Devilish Vultures stalking those haunted ruins day and night.

-As soon as any parcel of land is occupied the winged little creepy shits fly like the wind to tell their evil masters that their land was taken.

-Yeah, and then the Dark Guard comes rushing from the Crystal Castle to hunt down those poor people who just fucking want a place to live!

-Well then, what do you think about my plan?

-Sounds like a well designed and thought out plan but what about the Necromancer?

-Dude, the Necromancer doesn't even inhabits this Dimensional Plane anymore!

-Although if we nevertheless destroy thirteen of the seventy Monolithic Gates, that should solve the problem...

-Okay then, and what about the Inquisitor?

-Good point. The Inquisitor is one of the Necromancer's bitchy bootlicker lackeys and he'll be fast as a rat's flea to praise the Bitch Queen as well..

-So?

-I don’t know. I really don't know who the hell will give a fuck to help us out.

-Yeah... I'm out of ideas too. I don't even have coin to pay the bill.

-I'll be right back.

-Hellos!

-Hmmm?

-I've been listening to your whole conversation, not that I wanted to though. Well, I think that I might help you out.

-We really ain't got anything to lose.

-What do you suggest?

-Do you have a plan?

-Oh yeah! We've got a really ambitious plan to bring Castle Crystal down into bits, free the Enchanted Forest's folk whom are prisoners in the dungeons, and finally to redistribute all the Evil Queen's stolen land between the oppressed people from all around the Doomed Fiefdoms.
