Exhibition of the original drawings from the comic "La sangre extraña", the latest work by Sergi Puyol

But what the hell is exactly "La sangre extraña" (literally "strange blood"?
Arnaldo hates Fridays, he hates working, he hates to hate so much, he hates life. But even a nihilist loafer can be seduced by the flash of action and mystery.
When a bald gentleman who recites, in a catatonic trance, an enigmatic phrase, his existence becomes a trepidant and obsessively quixotic search. It will go through Russian novels, hectoliters of beer, daily enigmas, mental totems and metaphysical doubts.
The difficult thing is not to have an obsession, what really is complicated is not having many more.
One can escape from anywhere but his head. And the key is not to know what the strange blood is, but to continue living after having discovered it.
