El último lunes del año
No surrender
Outfield
No surrender
Even if it's over
No surrender
Stop pretending
You never cared for me
'Cos I remember
Words that we shared
A promise to keep
If they meant nothing to you
Well they still mean a whole lot to me
And if you tell me
To just walk away
And forget you forever
Then all I would say
Is no surrender
Even if you leave me
No surrender
Stop pretending
You never said those things
'Cos I remember
I remember
One small mistake
Turned into a crime
Oh but if I take the blame
You can go but I won't say goodbye
And if you tell me
To just walk away
And forget you forever
Then all I would say
Is no surrender
And if you tell me
To just walk away
And forget you forever
Then all I would say
Is no surrender

Lunes de esperanza e ilusión
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Ray Conniff
Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don’t you tell a single soul, What I’m going to say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon; Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you’ll bring to me: Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve, When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black, With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one, You'll be sure to know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates, Susy wants a dolly;
Nellie wants a story book; She thinks dolls are folly;
As for me, my little brain isn’t very bright;
Choose for me, old Santa Claus. What you think is right.

Sketch-busters CLXII: Frank Quitely

Expocomic 2010: Aftermath
Klaus Janson, entintador de lujo y dibujante con un estilo propio y personal, anguloso y feísta que a mí, cosas de la vida, siempre me ha gustado. Tebeos como el inicio de la primera serie regular del Castigador, la saga Gothic de Batman o sus trabajos en solitario en Daredevil se cuentan entre los tebeos que más veces he podido releer en mi vida. Todo un honor haber podido estrechar la mano del hombre que entintó Dark Knight.
Frank Quitely en una improvisada sesión de firmas al lado del stand de originales, que este año estaba a la sombra de un monstruo lovecraftiano. El dibujante escocés fue la estrella del salón sin ningún género de dudas, y su presencia concitó no pocos esfuerzos para conseguir uno de los números de su sesión de firmas... los tres días. Alguno hubo que apareció antes de las cuatro de la mañana con tal de ser el primero. ¿Qué puedo decir? Que esta bestia parda con estilo tan particular como atractivo lo merece. Y mucho.
Hermann, Janson y Quitely, durante otra de las sesiones multitudinarias, ya que en el mismo momento podía haber perfectamente 20 autores firmando a la vez. Los dos últimos, por cierto, hicieron lo posible por coincidir en la disposición de las mesas y así entretenerse con algo de amena charla mientras firmaban y dibujaban para la muchachada -y la no tan muchachada-.

¿Demasiado viejo para estos lunes?
Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die
Jethro Tull
The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
Unfashionable to the end --- drank his ale too light.
Death's head belt buckle --- yesterday's dreams ---
the transport caf' prophet of doom.
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
in his post-war-babe gloom.
Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die.
He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville.
Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs
and prays that he always will.
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys
all of his mates are doing time:
married with three kids up by the ring road
sold their souls straight down the line.
And some of them own little sports cars
and meet at the tennis club do's.
For drinks on a Sunday --- work on Monday.
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes.
Now they're too old to Rock'n'Roll and they're too young to die.
So the old Rocker gets out his bike
to make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be.
And as he flies --- tears in his eyes ---
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
with no room left to brake.
And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die.
No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Lunes de recuperación
Culture was the seed of proliferation but it's gotten melded
Into an inharmonic whole, to an inharmonic whole.
Consciousness has plagued us and we cannot shake it
Though we think we're in control, though we think we're in control.
Questions that besiege us in life are testament of our helplessness.
"There's no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end." [(Hutton, 1795]
When we all disintegrate it will all happen again, yeah.
Time is so rock solid in the minds of the hordes but they can't
Explain why it should slip away, explain why it should slip away.
History and future are the comforts of our curiosity but here we are
Rooted in the present day, rooted in the present day
Questions that besiege us in life are testament of our helplessness.
"There's no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end." [(Hutton, 1795]
When we all disintegrate it will all happen again, yeah.
If you came to conquer, you'll be king for a day,
But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away.
And believe these words you hear when you think your path is clear...
We have no control. We have no control.
We have no control, we do not understand.
You have no control, you are not in command.
You have no control. We have no control.
No control. No control. You have no control.
