Manny Calavera - Grim Fandango
“Love? Love is for the living, Sal. I’m only after her for one reason… she’s my ticket out of here.”
- ¡Caléndulas! Siempre pensé que serían tulipanes…
“With boney hands I hold my partner,
On soulless feet we cross the floor,
The music stops as if to answer,
An empty knocking at the door,
It seems his skin was sweet as mango,
When last I held him to my breast,
But now we dance this grim fandango,
And will four years before we rest.”
Con manos huesudas tomo a mi pareja.
Nuestros desalmados pies cruzan el suelo.
La música se detiene, como si respondiera.
Un golpeteo vacío en la puerta.
Su piel parecía tan dulce como el mango.
Cuando por fin la estreché contra mi pecho.
Pero ahora bailamos este macabro fandango
y cuatro años habrán de pasar para poder descansar.
- Para el que no lo supiera, de éste poema de Olivia Ofrenda, recitado en el Blue Casket, toma nombre la obra (juego) completa.

October is my favorite month, so I’m gonna use it to do art of some of my favorite Octobery things. Spooky, supernatural, or just a little morbid. The first week is devoted to video games, and today’s is a great game from the long ago. I actually still have the disks for this, even though I’m not sure I could get it working anymore.
Grim Fandango is one of the few things I might actually like to see remade… not because it needs any improving, only because it’s a great concept with limited accessibility if it turns out you’re not living in 1998.
(P.S. I’m on a trip this week, so some of these posts will be queued ahead of time, and some might end up being phone picture quality depending on when I get them done. I’ll try to replace any phone quality stuff with scans when I return.)
