Hello, it was a month or so that I didn't read your blog. This comic strips came with a national newspaper, and later were bought by a free newspaper. I used to read them every day. Some chapters are more elaborated than others, and I used to keep the stories which I found the best.
They once made a tribute to Kraftwerk, a whole week of cutlass and Kraftwerk, with drawings of their records, music,... some other musicians also appear in the comic strips, like the chemical brothers (once they made a disco party), and there're also other characters like extraterrestrials.
This strip is a dielectic battle between Cutlass and the bad Jake, with phrases like: "Death rides alone", "Revenge Rides over time",... until Jake makes a mistake (a logic mistake), and turns back and leaves.
