95. The new Pia Zawa.


Here it is then - the brand new, restarted adventures of Pia Zawa. Mostly new, that is. The prologue was published here in Norway in 2006, and is nothing for faint hearts. Some of you may want to read parts of it with your eyes closed. This first installment is quite peaceful, though...


The "painting" on the left wall of the hotel room is a negative version of the very first drawing I had in print, at age four. It's supposed to be a couple of marching police officers, and was published in the then existing local newspaper Tiden (The Time).

To be continued...
For copyright-reasons, there'll be none of the songs which old readers may remember from the former Pia Zawa stories. But I have a dream of a CD-soundtrack released with this book when it's done. If funds fail for this, there will at least be a list of recommended music in the book, and where it should be used. For the first new episode, Roadkill, there's even some original Pia Zawa music. And for the pre-publishing here on the web, we've got links...

Suggested soundtrack: Sign O'The Times with Prince.

If you'd like to see what success and artistic brilliance can do to a person's head, here's Kevin Smith's story about his week with Prince. It's funny shit.
Part 1.
Part 2.
Part 3.
