TROTTERSVILLE #1

Dear Readers, despite our decision to make 2024 the Year of Poetry on unbolt.me, it’s still essential to break the rules occasionally—especially when we’re feeling particularly naughty. Of course, we also hope to make 2024 the Year of the Graphic Novel—our fingers are firmly crossed on that one.

Anyway, how does this all relate to the silly little piggy strip you see below? It doesn’t! It’s all just stuff that we’re doing because we enjoy being creative. A poem here. A graphic novel there. A piggy strip or two. These things keep us on our toes, and will hopefully keep you engaged too, Dear Readers. We want to entertain you!

The strip below is another great opportunity for Tati to sharpen her translator claws—or, rather, dig her translator muzzle into some sweet word mud—whichever tortured metaphor works for you. We hope this little nothingness can entertain you and make you happy. And perhaps it can show you how differently language can work from one culture to another in the medium of comics. Should you find yourselves loving this effort then please consider supporting us on Patreon or Ko-fi—that would make us very happy too!

  1. That’s exactly the kind of weather we mostly get here in Albuquerque. There can be rain coming down elsewhere in the city, but the sun is bright where I am. Conversely, it can be pouring rain where I live but nowhere else in the city. So it’s rarely dark while raining. The sun shining through the raindrops creates a sparkling, crystalline effect. Sometimes, the whole city gets wet, but it dries so quickly, that it’s as though it hadn’t rained at all. Sometimes I can watch the rain coming down elsewhere, but it evaporates before it can hit the ground, a phenomenon called “virga”.
