Y ahora te mato la dama



And now I'll kill your Queen!. This is a simple vignette, looks like taken from and old book. Again chess as a metaphore of the war. Where is the fun? Probably in the fact that it is ridiculous to wear a uniform to play a table game, or maybe showing intense emotion, the small cannons have some charm here. It is a pity that the cannon is not a piece in Western chess (it is in Chinese chess, though). In total I would say this comic strip is not funny, but it is charming.
