Freedo is the mascot for Linux-libre.

Halloween is coming and I had a thought to do a series of Halloween-inspired Freedo pictures, with the series named A Freedo Halloween. This is the first: Freedo in a gnu costume. I think it's cute:

The second installment is out, with Freedo in a costume as Freedy. Not at all to be confused with the character Freddy :)

So basically jxself is telling use he's programmed a Freddy Krueger penguin monster into our Linux-libre kernels, which will crawl out of our laptops like the girl from "The Ring" movie crawling out of the TV's.

I'm ok with this, my life could use more excitement.

The third installment of the "A Freedo Halloween" series is out, with Freedo in a costume as Json (notice the lack of an "a" and what that means.) They had said "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."

These are getting progressively more nightmarish. I'm worried we might get a cross between Freedo and Cthulhu.

These are really bringing back good memories of 80's horror movies for me.

Okay - Hopefully this is less scary then.

Are you creating these yourself? How do you get the colors so bright?

If I'm understanding you correctly, click on an object. Go to Object -> Fill and Stroke. Mess around with the values until they're to your liking. Maxing them out looks a little better in these cases, I think.

Also, does this mean that this one was less nightmarish?

Ahh, the old penguin in orca's clothing. Real scary that.

Yeah, with the pumpkin outfit Freedo was looking less like a killer penguin, but now with the full Orca gear, he looks like he's straight out of a gruesome 1970's killer whale movie.

What kind of a skull is that? A Cthulhu skull? It doesn't look like a penguin skull to me.

It's just made up; I thought it looked good.

A penguin dressed up with a penguin skull? Well that seems just silly, right? :)

I know I said that the release of #9 (Bones) marked the end of the "A Freedo Halloween" series but I couldn't help to do one more. This is Freedo dressed in a costume as Samara Morgan from The Ring: https://jxself.org/git/?p=freedo.git;a=blob;f=A+Freedo+Halloween+-+2022/The+Ring.svg;h=c4274e7a2e536334f1cc2d95db13a47337f45397;hb=HEAD

Have a happy Halloween!

If you are going to do The Ring, then I think you have to do Cthulhu.

Okay. As a special favor to you, since asked for it, this is Freedo in a Cthulhu costume. Have a happy Halloween!
