It's entirely possible the story takes place in one of those places!

The first INIT Triumvirate:

To overcome opposition of systemd, three Penguin statesmen - Red Haetar, Archus and Ubuntey - form a political alliance, effectively seizing power of the Tux Republic and establishing systemd supremacy in the entire region for several years. Following an uprising in Tuxatania, Archus is killed and the balance of power is shifted among the two remaining statesmen. While Red Haetar moves to conquer BOTania, Ubuntey forms alliances to counter-balance Haetar's growing power, eventually resulting in a full civil war.

There are a few more detached panels of the story on !unix_surrealism :)

pmjv OP Mod , 27 days ago

The longer comics have mostly been sourced from story boards I sketched in surrealism ~2 years ago. Generally speaking, I will begin with sketching the characters in a seemingly random situation with no pretense and when ideas appear of what the single panel might be a part of, I indulge them and continue. In a way I understand this as opening a window into a world and progressively peeking through more and more.

I spoke about comic-surrealism here https://analognowhere.com/unix_surrealism/ , trying to dispel the idea that the output should be a pile of arbitrarily placed pixels. I use the characters as a medium or a tool for creating a surrealistic output. Ie: I know I will draw Girl and Fish, but not in what situation.

Most of the initial work is still done on paper. And most of it, like you suggest, never makes it into the world of Analog Nowhere.

For the more topical ideas, my mind is indeed not entirely free. Like the MATAVPS comic ( https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/14480541 ), but in that instance as opposed to the characters, I use the topic as my medium and let my hand construct the situation around it.
