Que sorpresa, tio!


 Been awhile since I've shown my pretty face 'round these parts... I took two months off from drawing to recharge my batteries in Alabama... but now I'm here to stay! Just before heading out on my excursion to spend time among the wonderful Tookses and Fieldses, I did a couple of interviews with several journalists in Spain with impressive pedigrees!

This one in Spanish with Spain's equivalent to the New York Times:

This one, the same conversation translated brutally into English by some underachieving algorithm:

This one for a rightwing Spanish radio channel which treated me like one of the family:

And this, which could be the best interview I ever participated  in, from the magnificent and insanely well prepared Kate Jetmore:

I recommend you have a listen there to all of Kate's past interviews with a variety of clever folks.

If for some strange jerk of fate it doesn't disturb you to listen to me rambling on in two languages about myself, come give us a listen and share some of these links!

I'm happy to be home in Madrid and I think the much needed rest may have done me some good! Watch this space' as they used to say!
