Description

sometime ago i started this onehundred years of solitude comic, of one my fave scenes :) this is page one, i never finish it... but maybe i will :)

heres the scene: (theres a spoiler there, dont read if you wanna read the book, wich i highly recomend)

As soon as Jose Arcadio closed the bedroom door the sound of a pistol shot echoed through the house. A trickle of blood came out under the door, crossed the living room, went out into the street, continued on in a straight line across the uneven terraces, went down steps and climbed over curbs, passed along the Street of the Turks, made a right angle at the Buendia house, went in under the closed door, crossed through the parlor, hugging the walls so as not to stain the rugs, went on to the other living room, made a wide curve to avoid the dining room table, went along the porch with the begonias, and passed without being seen under Amaranta's chair as she gave an arithmetic lesson to Aureliano Jose, and went through the pantry and came out in the kitchen, where Ursula was getting ready to crack thirty-six eggs to make bread.
"Holy Mother of God!" Ursula shouted.


en Castellano:(spoilers!!! no lean si van a leer el libro, el cual recomiendo!)

Tan pronto como José Arcadio cerró la puerta del dormitorio, el
estampido de un pistoletazo retumbó la casa. Un hilo de sangre salió por debajo de la puerta,
atravesó la sala, salió a la calle, siguió en un curso directo por los andenes disparejos, descendió
escalinatas y subió pretiles, pasó de largo por la calle de los Turcos, dobló una esquina a la
derecha y otra a la izquierda, volteó en ángulo recto frente a la casa de los Buendía, pasó por
debajo de la puerta cerrada, atravesó la sala de visitas pegado a las paredes para no manchar los
tapices, siguió por la otra sala, eludió en una curva amplia la mesa del comedor, avanzó por el
corredor de las begonias y pasó sin ser visto por debajo de la silla de Amaranta que daba una
lección de aritmética a Aureliano José, y se metió por el granero y apareció en la cocina donde
Úrsula se disponía a partir treinta y seis huevos para el pan.
-¡Ave María Purísima! -gritó Úrsula.

I first remember you posting this ages and ages ago, but hadn't read '100 Years of Solitude' at the time so I didn't quite understand the meaning behind your piece.  Today, I'm close to finishing it (I am at the part with the five years worth of rainstorms) and your gorgeous illustration takes on a whole new meaning for me.  The way you illustrated that scene was the first thing that came to mind when I got to the end of Jose Arcadio.
