comiCSS #45: Nightmare comicss.art/comics/45/ni... July 18, 2022.– Unfortunately, this comic was based on a true story (partially). IE had reach its end of life date, but we still got requests to support that browser in certain projects. Microsoft didn't support it anymore. We did. #css #cartoon

35 years ago, we saw dolphins in a certain area. We were on a boat and so close we could almost touch them. A year later, we saw dolphins jumping again. This time from the shore. It was amazing. For the past 34 years, every time I walk around that area, I look at the sea hoping to see dolphins.

comiCSS #44: flexcuses comicss.art/comics/44/fl... July 11, 2022 — I must admit this cartoon is closer to the ones I dislike than the ones I like. I was back from vacation and this comic didn't end up quite right. Sorry 😳 #css #webdevelopment #comic

My wife initially tried to convince the kids that a Ferretería sells ferrets. Now, after they saw the products at the store window, she is trying to convince them it's all ferret-made products.

De la Fuente learned the hard way tonight what most Spaniards (or at least most Atleti supporters) already knew: Morata may be a nice guy, a good player, a great team mate, an amazing businessman... but he is not a soccer star.

comiCSS #43: Pandora's Box comicss.art/comics/43/pa... June 27, 2022 — What started as a simple cartoon about the box model, ended in many alternatives (check source code linked above): box model, box-shadow, codeSandBox, FlexBox... #css #html #webdevelopment

comiCSS #41: The death of IE comicss.art/comics/41/th... June 15, 2022 — I published this on Internet Explorer's end of life date. I coded an alternative ending (shared with Patreon patrons) in which the ghost of Flash is not so friendly. It's plotting revenge and wants to join. #css #ie #webdev

comiCSS #40: Magic Trick comicss.art/comics/40/ma... June 9, 2022 – A magic trick coded in CSS with a single HTML element (I think I coded an initial version for #divtober). Pick a card, focus on it... and the magician will guess it for you! Is it witchcraft? No, it's CSS! 😆🃏 #css #magic #webdev

With this referee, Portugal will have a really tough time winning the game. So many mistakes, and most of them (the important ones) in favor of Germany.
