Enciclopedia Galega Universal

Hi to my friends. I wasn't around lately but during this time four relevant events happened. This one is the first one: my biography was included in ENCICLOPEDIA GALEGA UNIVERSAL, an universal encyclopedia written in Galician, my mother language. (Hi-res images are in my PRIVATE gallery. Keyword: ARMANDO) I also am listed in the WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CARTOONS, ATLAS ESPAÑOL DE LA CULTURA POPULAR, LAMBIEK COMICLOPEDIA, DICCIONARIO DE USO DE LA HISTORIETA EN ESPAÑA and... WIKIPEDIA:-) (thank you, Minerva Bloom).--------- About the other events... to be continued.

Wow... how fantastically cool is this- and I can tell everyone that I know you- you are now my claim to fame. Uber cool! Congratulations!!

Artist Reply: Your visit is a joy, dearest Kukua. All my loyal friends are here for me; I'm a lucky man indeed. Thank you very much. I must explain something about the special importance of this fact. Galicia, the Spanish area where I live in, has its own language (Galician) although most of people speak Spanish. Nationalist-separatist groups often act as nazis to impose their criterium. They "invade" all the areas (culture, politics, etc.) and if you only speak Spanish, you're a kind of traitor for them. If I talk with rural people I do it in Galician language but my usual language is Spanish. My comic strips and cartoons are written in Spanish and my political strips usually attack those groups: they hate me, of course :-) The Galician media that these groups manage, always ignored me even when I had international accomplishment. But in 2005 I got the international prize Curuxa de Honra givven by the Museum of Humor of Fene, a place in nationalist hands, and nowadays, the first Encyclopedia in Galician language has to recognise I also am Galician because of the impact of my daily work in public opinion.--- I have few wonderful news more. It's about museums... To be continued... :-)

I'm so glad to see you again, my great friend!!! And congratulations!!!! I'm very proud to be your friend! Your great success is our happiness too! A big hug!!

Artist Reply: Muito obrigado, meu amigo Alberto De la Asunción :-) During the last months I didn't surf the Net the same way I did before. It's a kind of self-therapy because Internet became very addictive: yes, it's a kind of "illness" and probably my bones aren't well because of so many hours looking at the screen. But I remember few photos of your brilliant exhibition at a sooo beautiful place. It reminded me of my exhibition at Marktkirche in Hannover. Belated congratulations for the success and I'll visit your portfolio, perhaps in the evening, to write my comments. Abraços.

Congratulations my friend, another step in the direction of well deserved imortality!

Artist Reply: Yes, my dear friend. As a matter of fact I already ordered my new visiting cards: "Connor MacLeod" ("Highlander") is printed instead of "Armando Salas" :-) I truly hope you're not planning to cut my head :-)---Thank you very much for your visit and comment: you're a loyal friend.---P.S.- I deleted my entire inbox by accident. Can you please send your postal address again? As soon as my bones allow me to go to the post office, I'll send the promised stuff to you. Hugs.
