The Real Capello
Posted on August 12, 2024 by Juan

New Secret Knots comic: "The Real Capello". Capello's plays, you say? You mean The Duke in Shadows? This one was inspired by the authorship controversy around Shakespeare's work of course, and I made a companion, non-fiction comic about Delia Bacon's quest for (what she believed) was the truth, available right now on Patreon. Speaking of which, this comic, as usual, is made possible by the support of kind patrons. Many thanks to all of them. I hope you like it! Let me know in the comments. Juan Santapau (not an alias)

      That’s right. It’s my humble contribution to the digital hallucination.

    I’m so sorry, I kept getting error messages due to including an emoji. I didn’t think it posted.

    Ha ha ! I didn’t catch that was about an older comic of yours at first, that’s brilliant. Great work.
    Getting a Secret Knots notif in my RSS is clearly a highlight of my week

    Adding the popular fictive comic artist Juan Santapau to this story is an amusing touch. You are sure to anger his fans over on his Discord now, and I expect they will now all swarm here to see this work.

    Of course, this should not detract from reading Il Duca Nell’ Ombra in the original, truly a masterpiece. Giuseppe Maria Capello defined Italian as we now know it, paving the way for Dante Alighieri and Niccolo Machiavelli.
