cayetano's CUENTOS DE LA FRONTERA returns to MODERN TALES!

Submitted by cayetano garza on June 2, 2003 - 15:25

cayetano "cat" garza brings his popular texmex border action/adventure/horror comic Cuentos de la Frontera back to Modern Tales today.

The second part of the Cuentos trilogy, entitled "El Pistolero", finds Felix Jaramillo forced to move back to the Rio Grande Valley from Mexico, where he has spent the last two years studying the mystic arts of his ancient ancestors.

Plagued by dream-visions of his friends and family in grave danger, he must return to the place of his birth to confront the dark forces that had chased him away two years prior and would eventually bring about the death of his lover during his sojourn in the tiny Mexican village he had made his new home.

"El Pistolero" promises weekly doses of Texas/Mexico legend and folk myth as well as poking at the horror and action genres to provide what cat can only describe as "a mexican Dr. Strange".

This chat took place Saturday, March 29, 2003. Cayetano "Cat" Garza Jr chatted with Scott McCloud, Demian5, and Patrick Farley. In Scott McCloud's second book on the comic medium, Reinventing Comics, he wrote about the potential of digital media for comics. He named several artists already on the web in the book, creating a certain aura of notoriety around some artists who may have gone unnoticed before. Among them were Cayetano Garza, Demian5 and Patrick Farley. Comixpedia had the chance to eavesdrop on a chat between the four about the state of webcomics today.

Waiting for Whimville

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 18, 2003 - 11:05

Following on the heels of James Kochalka's American Elf and Lea Hernandez' RumbleGirls will be Cayetano Garza Jr's Whimville. Currently a series on Modern Tales, Cat has been working on moving Whimville to a stand alone site. There is still no specified launch date, but it appears that date is getting closer.

As best as I can describe it, Whimville is a story about the land of Whimville where children's imaginary friends live. Unfortunately one of those friends turned evil and recruited a horde of destructive brain bunnies to take over Whimville. The plot cuts between the action in Whimville and the real world. It is a visually dynamic series that takes full advantage of its nature as a webcomic.
