Is it noteworthy that nowadays cultural exchanges are held -world wide- on the basis of exporting the pizza “culture” and importing the pumpkin’s one, according to the mesmerizing globalization and permeating market laws? (…la mondialisation as the French call it, to mark the difference…)
For now my ghostly sailor wanders in the unlimited ocean of the global Internet among blogs and sites, and -off course- ads; fortunately enough genial Mc Luhan wrote:
“Any ad consciously attended to is comical. Ads are not meant for conscious consumption. They are intended as subliminal pills for the subconsious in order to exercise an hypnotic spell, especially on sociologists.”

Happy Halloween!

Oh very cool - just an amazing character you have created. Not to mention what you say is also so true. I think he could have a whole book. Just traveling around with this sailor from place to place. I really love what you created here - the stance is just so perfect. The outfit and of course the coloring. Always the coloring is perfect.
