space-to-earth man-metaphysics! The answers lie somewhere in between.
"A nanometer is a piece of metal atoms around a stretch of four contiguous or is about 70,000 times thinner than a human hair" ( wikipedia definition 10 -9 m )
I do not know if it has someone noticed, but if one's eyes slowly closed the world is getting smaller. If you then closes or the ears with cotton wool, then one is missing not only the visual world component but also the acoustic. But there are things you can not see or hear it? Those who can not begin with rhetorical questions, is this physical example to heart. Until 1897, it was believed that atoms are the smallest constituents of matter, until a certain Mr. Thomson discovered the electron and refuted the theory of the smallest component of matter. No one can tell me that he with the naked eye - and yet they were trained so - can see an atom, let alone an electron and yet they exist. diffuse Similarly, where the lines between visible and invisible world, and eventually also run their own perception, is made of microscopic macrocosm of " Leroy & Dexter "Which was recently published in a collection ribbon in avant-verlag. Author of this pre-published as a web comic series (weekly Strip on electromics.com) is Thomas Gilkes, now gigs around since about fifteen years ago by the comic stratosphere and back and then worked as a freelance illustrator for various agencies, magazines and newspapers.
pastiche and glorification For Gilkes begins the story of "Leroy & Dexter," in 2005. In the Brandenburg Rüdersdorf. In order to accurately Gilkes to be exercised as a tourist to the museum by the now converted limestone work. Are at the beginning of the day, the vast dimensions of the limestone mining in the focus of the illustrator, then shifts the attention Gilkes. A box of sorted collections of the cultural center "Martin Andersen Nexo" is considered to be particularly great find, because in addition to a fungal leader and a Lada self-help book are in it for some editions of the Press Digest Sputnik - published by the Soviet news agency Novosti - and three editions of the Soviet youth magazine Sputnitschik (diminutive of the Russian Sputnik, translated Begleiterchen) with, it's hard to believe some editions of the Soviet Comics & Leroy Dexter ".
Whereas Mother Russia has long been sent into retirement, their products survive in magazine form the major restructuring phase. wanted the magazine said preserved undistorted view of a political system that in no way inferior to the West and has created his own visual aesthetics: What is more important and leads us to the actual topic. As a result of a targeted international is not only the experimental values with Sputnik and Sputnitschik (Sputnitschik - international magazine in Russian language) international children's magazines to be on the legs, which mutlilingualem charm with the ideology in the form of snacks should bear the borders of the Iron Curtain, but also to integrate a comic strip as an insert in the booklet.
Although the name of the Comics ("Leroy & Dexter") later give way to the leaden seriousness and is renamed to "hammer and elk, has moved on in them still get a crude sense of humor and a sloppy-friendly layout, which with a purism endearing conviction. This arouses the curiosity Gilkes and he decides the future of the lost series in his eponymous comic strip update. A happy ending for comic book enthusiasts!
from one subject to How nice that "Leroy survived & Dexter "the cold war and the two Thomas Gilkes Nano-being on electrocomics.com and more recently in the avant-publishing has given a new home. Ultimately, this is also a great gift for the reader, because the living reality of "Leroy & Dexter," a very strange, almost surreal. The two unequal characters are the least, it was said, fairly tiny and are thus challenges to really reckoned with. In one episode, replaced the phrase "Seen from here , all look like ants, "a whole new meaning. While the phrase usually only on high altitudes and therefore to decreasing people can apply, the statement at Leroy and Dexter refers to a real ant that dominates the two protagonists whining a lot. From there, it is the legs to take in hand and run away. Danger from toxic fungal spores and pollen big man. Constantly shifting layers of time, seem even larger creatures, and new affronts. Thanks Kathi Mogel guest drawings can even become a spectator of cell division in different strips. What more could you want?
Leroy and Dexter work by the way also quite good as comic figures. Although one might at first stumbles on the concept, so the two characters have many references other pair of pop culture. Leroy follows the example of the pastiche of clever, callous cynic who herumwildert wild in the history of ideas and to explore the world in its complexity attempted. Dexter is his counterpoint. As goofy assistant strength he zottelt behind Leroy, can be explained by him the world and asks questions about issues. The roles are just as clear as the comic effects that trigger these patterns. Comedy arises from the contrast here as well, so similar to Laurel and Hardy or Didi and Stulle. It used to be stereotypical characteristics to produce Schenkelklopfer. How is one able to act otherwise, and finally offers a strip usually only room for 4-8 panels?
But every now and then to use these stereotypical patterns for testing, to point to much larger problems. Are there parallel worlds? How big is the universe? Called left-handed lactic acid bacteria so because they drive the carousel next round? Why is the cook of the open mouth, although he says nothing at all? Space-to-earth man-metaphysics - the answers lie somewhere in between. The questions to be found in "Leroy & Dexter."
