There’s an article about me in Sydsvenskan today (and if you look closely at the photo, you can see what’s on my T-shirt). I thought I’d celebrate that (and my upcoming birthday) by posting some new pages from my upcoming Piracy is Liberation book 005: Free Section… These aren’t finished yet, but I like to pretend that I’m working as hard as I should, so view them as work in progress.

There’s also something that wasn’t mentioned in the article, which is my Angry Animals comic. Sooner or later, I will have enough of these to fill a book, but for now they can be read in some different places. Like older issues of Mana and my website…

There are some who would claim that piracy is theft. Of course, the rest of us know this to be false.

Let me explain. One of the main characteristics of the phenomenon of theft if that the former owner is deprived of the stolen object. Copying the object is something entirely else. Anyhow…

Someone seems to have stolen one of the images from the Violence exhibition (this one):

Obviously the most popular of the exhibition, and I am flattered that someone would go to the trouble of stealing it. Though I have some problems with it.

1. Everyone won’t be able to see the entire exhibition.

2. I paid money for printing the images. If I don’t get paid through selling the images, I won’t get that money back and it was taken from the budget for the next Piracy is Liberation graphic novel…

3. I know I had a third reason, but I forgot…

Here’s an idea: Instead of stealing the exhibition (assuming you can’t afford to buy anything but still want a Piracy image on your wall), download one of the first two books and print a page to put on your wall. It’s free and hurts no one!

New end date for Violence at Panora: October 15!

This is an exhibition of the story called Violence (which will be published in Piracy is Liberation 006: Violence). It is also a comment on the political climate in Malmö.

Police are sent in by social democrats against constitutionally protected actions taken by the union. They force children up against the wall, accusing them of crimes they couldn’t possibly have committed, simply because they look like immigrants.

Time and again, the police prove that they aren’t here to protect us but to control, to hold anyone back who dares to stray outside of the norms of what it’s supposed to mean to be Swedish.

The exhibition is dedicated to Malmö 26, the 26 who were indicted for being on the picket line against a sushi restaurant at Lilla Torg in Malmö.

I’m a bit behind schedule with this book, for good and bad reasons, but I still have hopes of printing it before the end of September. We’ll see…

Wondering why my scanner seems to have stopped working…
