Comics and stuff by Pablo Stanley
I’m a big fan of Grace Hopper and I wanted to pay tribute to this rarely recognized pioneer. She always fought the status quo and the people that love to say “We’ve always done it this way”.
I hope you find her story, illustrated in this comic, as motivating as I do.
This comic was originally published here.
I finally colored this comic 🙂
You can buy a print in the form below.

I’m not saying all internships are bad but, unfortunately, a lot of them are just rip-offs. Specially on big ‘cool’ companies where there are plenty of eager aspirants waiting for the chance to take your position. You get on an unpaid internship thinking of the experience you would receive and how it would help you land a good job in the future. Instead you end up doing chores that have no learning value like picking up coffee and other stuff that the company would otherwise have to pay someone for.
Do you have any internship horror stories, or maybe a good experience you would like to talk about? Share on the comments!
There is always confusion on knowing what belief position we have. Atheist? Agnostic? Theist? Gnostic? I found a guide online and I thought I could improve it by adding characters and make it a bit friendlier. Now you can know what the hell you are. That’s, of course, if you believe in hell… or know there is a hell… Or believe in hell, but don’t really know… Oh, God, I give up.

The true meaning of Xmas is celebrating Isaac Newton’s birthday.
The responses to the question “If we all end up dying, what’s the purpose of living?” on Quora inspired me to write this comic. The consensus was that at the end, to the universe we’re no more important than a rock. We’re so tiny that trying to find a meaning for our lives seems even arrogant, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it. You eat a donut (or a cake, like Quora suggested), and enjoy it without worrying that you’ll finish it in a few bites.
What do you think?
A typical Black Friday in America.
Is this the real life?
Listening to heavy rock
I started working on a design project with the guys from koding.com and we had the idea of a comic with halloween costumes that only programmers, IT guys or web developers would get… so I came up with this cheesy strip.
By the way, if you’re a web designer, developer, programmer (or all of the above), you should totally check their stuff. They give you a free Virtual Machine with EVERY programming language pre-installed so you can play around or create something awesome: koding.com
This is half of the first episode of Anna and Toby. A comic about two best friends that find themselves by chance and help each other against a hostile world. My first try at a story that doesn’t have a punch line and isn’t just ‘funny’. I really hope you like it.
The next episodes will be featured on Web Toon Live every Monday.
This happens every time I ask someone to take my photo.
Note:For those interested in knowing what that awesome statue is all about, you can read this comic.
Wearing glasses has a difficult circumstance from which there is no escape.
When I was young, I was fascinated with the idea of E.T. intelligence; worlds of creatures like us, up there, wondering about the same. How would their thinking be like? What would they look like? Is their technology better than us? Do they have ‘gods’ like us?… I was also a bit of a UFO nut, I recorded VHS videos of different sightings and I do presentations to my classroom about it. Needless to say, they thought I was crazy. In a sense, there’s still that poster from Agent Mulder hung in my head; “I want to believe”.
Comic based on a green text story by anon. Apparently The Simpsons did something similar too on that episode where Homer works from home because he’s too fat. I’m not original, leave me alone.
Is society making you feel bad because you look too middle aged? Screw them! Put on your armor and slay them with your sword like dragons!
Here are two comics about some features from the new iPhone. To be honest, I’m not excited about Apple products anymore, it seems like they stopped innovating… but, wait… it comes in pink? OMG, I NEED ONE!
Happy Birthday, Freddie. You will live forever through the legacy of your music and incredible talent.
