Nocciola by Alessandro Bonino

I coniugi Mario e Laura Piovano, di Serravalle Scrivia, in provincia di Alessandria, avevano cercato per molto tempo di avere un bambino senza, purtroppo, ottenere alcun risultato. Su consiglio del Dottor Alberto Miniati, primario della clinica San Michele Arcangelo di Cadelbosco di Sopra, provincia di Reggio Emilia, grande luminare che aveva seguito tutti i loro infruttuosi tentativi, decisero di intraprendere l’estenuante percorso dell’adozione. Dopo dieci lunghi mesi, ricevettero finalmente la comunicazione che un bambino era stato loro assegnato. Grande fu la loro sorpresa quando scoprirono che non si trattava affatto di un bambino, ma di una strega di nome Nocciola.

Notes

I’m finally back with some hundred word stories! I was really starting to miss them. The author of this first story of 2010, is yet another new entry in the project (I get quite some requests lately, and that’s great!). I’ve been drawing people in suites for so much time now (Gietz has something to do with is, in case you wondered), that it becomes quite automatic for me to draw a tie on a male character…

People on the beach

As expected more from the holidays. But this time… somethig unexpected. Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition… I mean, nobody expects The Human Chainsaw!

This is a really old story by now. But I’ve never posted it anywhere, so here we go: Peter Panz, written by Riccardo Castelli,art by me.

This story is somehow important to me, since it was my comeback to a more deformed and humorous style after years passed trying to master academic, realistic, proportioned drawing, which apparently was never really what I was meant to be drawing anyway. This story probably helped a lot in realizing that.
