Nothing symbolizes the clichés of alpine culture better than the story of "Heidi". The two novels by Johanna Spyri tell the story of the young orphan girl Adelheid, who is sent to her grandfather, who lives largely alone on a high mountain pasture, and ultimately falls in love with the mountain landscape. Numerous films and series have also been implemented on the basis of the works.
An anime production by the Japanese studio Zuiyo, released in 1977 and 1978, is particularly well known. The opening credits of this series also served the Swiss producer, presenter and AI expert Patrick Karpiczenko, commonly known as "karpi", as a template for an experiment. According to his own statement, he had the AI model Runway ML Gen-2 generate a new trailer for "Heidi", which was finally edited and accompanied by the intro music of the cartoon. The result attracts some attention with bizarre twists.

The fact that Karpiczenko says he can "never sleep again" seems plausible because of what he has seen. Nevertheless, the film captures well what it feels like to grow up in Switzerland. In some observers, it also awakens memories of another production, albeit one that is not AI-generated: the splatter comedy film "Mad Heidi", in which the grown-up girl from the high Alps fights megalomaniac cheese fascists.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
