Legendary Argentine cartoonist Liniers' defining work continues to enchant and amuse in equal measure. Echoing the wry, sweet, edgy humor of Mutts and Calvin and Hobbes, Liniers' Macanudo finds the sweet spot between the madcap and the profound -- located somewhere between the heart and the funny bone.
Like Captain Ahab rebuffing a Kraken, a Mondrian square wandering off from the herd, or Fellini the cat bouncing like a grasshopper, Macanudo lampoons literature, homages fine art, and imitates nature. It's an ode to the little things in life, and a handbook for how to lighten up.
No one -- from the sappiest softy to the most jaded cynic -- is immune to Macanudo's charm.
