The Delta Snake Review: Oct. 17, 2026 Topics: Quitturz 2 update, cover reveal and diagram, three Godfathers of Punk short takes. The Web comic is coming along. I've redone parts of the first 26 panels, mainly to improve continuity with the first Kindle novel cover, which features the model Klaudia. I want the graphic novel version to be a continuation of the first book, even if I have done the usual “Hollywood” thing and butchered parts of my own novel in order to avoid making the story too predictable for anyone who’s read the original book.  As you can see from the final webcomic cover, the main character looks the same as on the cover of the first novel. The two ebooks will have the same title, with one identified as a graphic novel. The reason is that the first part of the webcomic is going to reprise parts of the first book for continuity before moving into the 80s. The construction of the cover is a pen and pencil drawing based on the Klaudia photo from the novel. I drew a full pose in case I wanted to use it again. The pieces were put on a sample sheet with comments like with the sample poster project, which is on the back burner until I’ve figured out whether I want the illustration to show the Quitturz headlining. I'm planning to drop a week's worth of panels (or so) as a starter and then publish two or three times a week after. I’ll keep three weeks ahead of time, but don’t necessarily want to build up two or three months worth like they recommend on some sites. I’m doing this because I enjoyed doing serial fiction on Kindle Vella, so I want to enjoy the flexibility to evolve the plot on the fly in front of an audience. True Godfathers of Punk: Punk Rock Short Takes The short takes will cover a wider range because the Quitturz 2 graphic novel will also cover the 80s. Punk is often about immortal moments and short statements that say it all. So, some of the series will be succinct short takes without filler or slop. Dez Paul Cadena This punk guitarist/vocalist was with Black Flag 1980-1983, Misfits 2001-2015, guest appearances or contributor with Redd Kross and Husker Du (Zen Arcade album) and recently with Jon Caspi and the First Gun. What makes him a true godfather is his 1980 vocals with Black Flag, a combination of jock shout, hoarse blast and one of the funniest exaggerated punk voices to ever record that influenced later hard-core singers. His vocals in "Police Story" and "Six Pack" made him an 80s archetype and inspiration to all singers who only have a super loud-off knob. Husker Du "Zen Arcade" An early example of 1984 hard-core punk with real range, from acoustic to flat out electric. Songs like "Something I Learned Today," the haunting acoustic "Never Talking To You Again" and the hypnotic Bo Diddley meets the electric drone of "Hare Krishna" made this a rare double album with no filler that transcended its genre to become a rock classic on many top 100 lists of all time great albums. Mitch Easter Mitch has always been a good artist and in particular did some good work with the “Let’s Active” group but it’s his work as the early producer for groups like R.E.M. and Game Theory that’ll cement his contribution to the “power pop” and “jangle pop” styles that was such a big part of the highly influential 80s college circuit. He produced albums like R.E.M.’s “Chronic Town” and Game Theory’s “Lolita Nation” that are still on my playlists in 2026. In fact his 1988 song, “Forty Years” is still on my own personal top 100 songs of all time.  Al Handa Oct 17, 2026 #punk #newwave #postpunk #webcomic #AI #kindle #mitcheaster #huskerdu #blackflag #dezcadena #janglepop

Delta Snake Review: Sept. 29, 2026 Topics: Comic update, Parts 1-3 of 70s Punk Flyer Demo and future features. I’m approaching this as if the Quitturz book 2 was a graphic magazine or comic with the character being done by a cover artist and another one working on the strip itself. Like with Mad Magazine or even Superman, there was always a difference between the cover art and the panels, which were always simpler if for no other reason then to make sure that the emphasis was on story and to make room for the dialogue text.  The cover art, which always has a promotional function (it’s what you see on the newsstand or shelf) was always going to be more detailed and elaborate; the amount of details in these promo pics probably won’t necessarily be in my panels. There already is a basic look for the main character for the panels, and that probably won’t be debuted until the actual comic. However, one reason that I’m continuing the line of poster or promo art, as you will, is that one, those who follow my blogs know that I’m always putting out regular promo for projects. Being a boomer, my comic experience is different than perhaps a GenZ or millennial, etc. For example, I didn’t think in terms of “graphic novels” in the 70s, the publications were known as comics or in the case of Mad Magazine, well, Mad Magazine. There was a genre that is going still strong, which is the “Heavy Metal” type comic strips, which were quite detailed, and there’s plenty of info about it on the internet so I won’t go into detail on that here, but one of the reasons I’m continuing a darker line of drawings is that the novel itself is more turbulent. That was going to be the mood of a book version too, so a slightly darker “punk” mood that’s more detailed and stylistic is still an option. I’m probably going to start doing the panels in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. I’m using the time now to basically acquaint myself with the various characters, refining the script, etc., so there’s time to train myself on the characters and graphic approach. 70s Punk Flyer Demo: I’ve put the first three steps (and the text) on a single sheet. That way you don’t have to switch back and forth between the blog and the attached image. Future Promo Features: Along with updates, I’ll continue the “True Godfathers of Punk” essays but also cover pioneers of post punk, power pop and hardcore as those will be referenced in “The Quitters Book 2: Lost Decade.” Al Handa  Sept. 29, 2026 #punk #postpunk #graphicnovel #manga #kindle

Redoing 26 panels for continuity is the kind of nobody-notices work that readers feel anyway. The diagram sounds interesting.

Das Schweigen der Lämmer ! - HEIKE THIEME - YLVA - The Silence of the Lambs

Männer sind profan. Sie bilden sich ein, wenn sie ein Jahr mit einer so stets und ständig was "haben", ohne dass das einer weiß, als könne nicht einmal ein schlauer Detektiv dahinter gekommen sein, so dumm sei der .... nur kommt mal derselbe nicht dahinter, dass seine Angebetete bereits seit Monaten ihm den Schwangerbauch offen vorenthält, samt aller Hormonschwankungen, und der Typ selbst das nicht mitkriegt ? so viel zu Selbstüberschätzung. - HEIKE THIEME - YLVA - Men are shallow. They imagine that if they’ve been “seeing” someone like that for a year—constantly and without fail— without anyone knowing, it’s as if not even a clever detective could have figured it out, that’s how stupid he is.... But what if he doesn’t realize that his beloved has already been openly hiding her pregnant belly from him for months, along with all the hormonal fluctuations, and the guy himself doesn’t even notice? So much for overconfidence.

DAS LOTUS-SUTRA – DAS GLEICHNIS VON DEN KRÄUTERN „Aus dem einen Wasser, das aus jener Wolke hervorströmte, erhalten Pflanzen, Bäume, Gebüsche und Wälder entsprechend ihrem Bedarf Feuchtigkeit.“ „So lässt der belebende [Regen], obwohl er ein und derselbe ist, doch jeden gedeihen.“ So wie der Regen gleichermaßen auf alle Pflanzen fällt, jede Pflanze jedoch Nahrung entsprechend ihrer Natur und ihrer Aufnahmefähigkeit erhält, so lehrt der Tathagata allen Lebewesen das eine Dharma. Da der Buddha ihre unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten, Veranlagungen und ihr Verständnis kennt, führt er jeden entsprechend dem, was er aufnehmen kann. Das Dharma ist eins, doch sein Nutzen ist unermesslich. — Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra (Lotus-Sutra), Kapitel 5, „Das Gleichnis von den Kräutern“.
