long time since I uploaded some of my stuff for school assignment was making a series of small comics that used an element from a well known person (any element) this is what I made, tell me what you think  oh and I know the font is really small but its gonna be printed on near A3 size so that wont be a prob ![[image loading]](http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8486/geronimundologozh3.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/5373/strip06wq2.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/6072/strip07yz0.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/7915/strip08bv6.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/2451/strip09xg6.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/3826/strip02gp2.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/1659/strip01pb8.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/2808/strip10ws3.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/5548/strip03uk3.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/2856/strip04fq9.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/647/strip05kf1.jpg) + Show Spoiler + Its actually satire, something which I deliberately kept sort of hidden at first glance  | ||

I know. But I'm convinced none of you actually tried hard enough! Think of it as a visual puzzle. The pieces are all given to you through symbols and objective information. I'll give an example: the creature that is described in the second and third image. It has nuclear power. And look at its brain, does it not strike you as oddly similar to something? Granted that this comic takes a lot of outside knowledge. I just wanted to make something thats not one-dimensional and instantly 'gotten'. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.afunnystuff.com/forumpics/cantseeshitcaptain.jpg) Seriously, lol, I don't get it. But I'm intrigued to know what it is about. + Show Spoiler [probably stupid guess] + does it have anything to do with our "brain" and the "dna"? | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Basil%27s_Cathedral hmm... my mind goes to a few different directions but I'm afraid of making a fool of myself, so I'll just wait for others to get it first and then say "I KNEW IT!!" :p | ||

Well, that picture has thrown me off a bit so I'll post up my original guess. Actually it's more interpretation of a couple of the pictures. Pic #5: Oil in the middle-east/Iraq? Pic #6: The beast is the USA right? The head is the president, since 1461 days comes to roughly 4 years. I like the artwork for the shed heads; sort of like that mountain with the faces of past presidents on it, or a row of busts. Pic #7/#8: The USA as the flying beast maintaining a "watchful eye" and some middle-eastern country supplying it with "propellant" (oil). I dunno. I'm having trouble with some of the pics, and pulling it all together into one concept. | ||

actually this entire comic is supposed to thrive off of different interpretations its like maurizio cattelan said “Whatever comes after you’ve done your work, it doesn’t belong to you. You can’t control it. The work has to fight for itself and define itself.” | ||

fonger you are correct on all your guesses! bravo you dont have to try pulling it together in one concept these pieces are supposed to appear individually like once every week in a magazine or something so there's the reappearing 'characters' instead of an actual storyline if you look at the first 4 you should be able to find a resemblance to something that happened a few months ago | ||

Mundo means world in spanish, so geronimundo is like geronimo's world weird but cool yes! + Show Spoiler + geronimo spent his life fighting nations | ||

the buildings that represented the Middle East were the buildings of the Kremlin, so i thoguht it was about the cold war X( I quite like the art style. Very unsettling, which works with the story you're trying to tell | ||

Difficult, but certainly not boring ^^ Nice work. Edit: A jellyfish? Strong self-defence, and a big head ("brain"). A nuclear jellyfish?! THE PLOT THICKENS. | ||
