this week’s two part update was the first of what will be a series of pages designed predominantly with the print edition in mind. as the events in the story begin to merge i wanted the images amongst the panels to evoke that as well. if you click the image below you will see p120 & p121 as they are meant to be viewed… together.
till next week!

Awesome!
I didn’t notice the jet-stream following Reggie and the package flying across the background of p120 until the 2nd page was there to make it obvious. I assume he isn’t flying to the battle whale (as he is now passing it?) but rather onward to Nadia!
Wish I could hear that music.
Stunning!
I love the music — am I crazy to think that it’s coming from the sound of bone against fog? I’m imagining something like fingernails on a blackboard, but watery and melodic and minor, as if played on a glass harmonica… Makes my teeth hurt and yet I want to hear more
Thank you — that was exactly the sound I imagined as well. A sound meant to irritate. It’s not inconsistent with the sound ollie describes, either. If this were ever made into a film, that sound would be one of the hard ones to get “just right”.
I love this comic!!!!
The lines, the story the textures. Someday is going top make one hell of a movie.
Thanks for the adventure.
How could this possibly be made better by making a movie? It’s perfect as-is.
This is fantastic! Really.
the pose and everything in the last panel there–bottom right–it’s poetry
“He” is the creepiest damn thing I’ll see all week, and I *love* it. Kukuburi makes my heart sing.
P.S. Go, Reggie, go!
Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
geek
very cool. Would love to see this whole thing in a book format!
Squeeeeeee…. again….. Tis as beautiful and awesome as always Ramon. Great stuff. *Sits and stares happily*
Gorgeous. I love the movement from one panel to the next, across pages, and then suddenly, it’s like silence…all the action is gone, but a small strain of music is left. Simply stunning.
It just keeps getting more and more wonderful! The two pages together are, indeed, lush and magical.
Welcome back with a bang!
Third panel.. Michael Stipe, anyone? In that case, I’m willing to bet the music is a muffled, single voice A Capella rendition of Losing My Religion.
Weird optical illusion: In that last frame, it looked for a moment like he had a walking stick in his hand. It’s just the way he’s standing, I think, I actually did a double-take when I realize he wasn’t holding anything.
Music: something by Philip Glass or Brian Eno?
Speechless. The combination of 120 and 121 together is haunting. I cannot wait to get your print book Ramon, although I would LOVE to see a poster of the full scene that those 2 pages originally would have had, sans framing.
Somehow the music notes evoke the sound of something profoundly disturbing. Looks like I’m not the only one who thinks so. Bravo Ramon.
The sweet sweet music of fingernails on the chalk board of mist. Love it!!!
These two pages are going into my fav’s.
YeAh… I’m SO geeking.
yes yes, this the stuff dreams (or, imagination) is made of, kudos on another awesome update Ramon
Man! I love your webcomic! I just read it and I’m anxious to take moooore! hehe
it’s interesting how you all are interpreting the musical visual. pretty bang on for the most part… :)
make me want to post a “soundtrack” of sorts sometime. as there i a definite musical element playing out in my head and on itunes as i work on kuku.
I don’t think I have read something this interesting…well, ever. Bravo!
if there is ever a soundtrack
it should be something like the Dark Knight
Koyaanisqatsi.
What? Already at the last panel? But I only discovered this today!!! :(
ditto on finding today – made reddit, read through the whole thing at work 8)
-great job
I also read through the whole thing today. I think the slow loading pages helped build up the suspense. I’m going to have to start following this now, I have to know what happens.
nice comic man. I read all 121 today and i look forward to many more. The artwork is fantastic
a welcome to all those you found kukuburi on reddit yesterday and hopefully in the coming days. thank you for the kudos and i’m glad to hear you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far :)
Buen trabajo!
Uno de los comics mejor hechos que he visto en tiempo. :)
gracias bok!
btw/ i quite like your email :P
I really hope you print this someday. I would love to be able to see it all as two page spreads like this (and I would legitimately buy it).
It would be a shame (or perhaps criminal :p) not to print this tbh.
Another great comic man! I want to buy a widescreen monitor so i can view those two pages fullscreen!
the music in the rift his fingers cut is a wierd circus steam caliopy, muted by distance and dry wind. It speakes of innocence twisted, maidens made to scream…
i like it!
I haven’t commented in a while, but i’m an avid reader! it’s so beautiful.
I know you must be quite busy, and heaven forbid I keep you from finishing more panels for us, but if you have any merchandising plans, I would snap up the bottom right panel on a shirt :)
the stripe is excellent, but this one in particular…. Heskeleton languidly surfing the mantaray in the mist bring some cool snowboarding flashbacks…
I think that skeleton is what would happen if David Bowie sold his soul to the devil.
I’ve been reading through the archives of this comic, and I just had to comment and say that I love the art and storyline =) It’s original, interesting, and the art is so good that you need almost no dialogue to figure out the storyline. Fanbloodytastic!
A friend recommended this comic to me and ive been watching it for the last couple of days. I love the dark turn its taken and how the characters that have been recently introduced seem to eek of malice. Beautiful story and wonderful work- Thank you
