La bella storia di tre giovani studenti d’arte tedeschi, Simon, Paul e Hanno, che entrano a Scampia e disegnano un enorme cardillo su quattro piani di una vela, fra l’incoraggiamento dei ragazzini del posto. Il cardillo, che nella tradizione napoletana è sempre raffigurato chiuso in gabbia, è però questa volta libero di spiccare il volo.

UPDATE. Paul Schweizer, uno dei tre autori del cardillo, mi scrive dicendo che il post linkato era una mail privata pubblicata erroneamente, e mi chiede di cancellare ogni riferimento al testo, che contiene diverse inesattezze (una su tutte: né Paul né Hanno né Simon sono studenti d’arte).

Un viaggio all’interno del corpo umano in compagnia di un virus.

“Upon completion of detailed character timelines for three of the most well known geek movies (Asperger syndrome), the author realized that a humorous punch-line was necessary in order to publish these charts as a comic strip.

The punch-line comes visually in the form of two more charts appended to the three originals. These extra charts, both much less detailed than the first few, create a humorous and instantly visible contrast when juxtaposed with the fairly complex ones. The joke being told here is that Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Jurassic Park have plots involving many characters who travel between a multitude of locations, while 12 Angry Men has 12 characters who are confined to a single room and Primer’s characters travel through time in a notoriously complex manner.

The author has once again gone to great lengths to turn a simple observation into a large comic involving multiple charts. This is how geeks masturbate.”
