Overview
el segundo volumen de la nueva colección de Macanudo, continuación de Bienvenidos al otro lado.
Duendes, brujas, monstruos del bosque, unicornios, niños, gatos y pingüinos parlantes... También zombis que usan relojes para hacer ejercicio, el regreso de Christine —el auto diabólico de Stephen King— trabajando de Uber y la vida en todas sus formas: del espacio exterior a las estrechas paredes de una oficina corporativa. Los límites habituales de la clásica tira cómica diaria no se aplican a la imaginación ni a los temas de Macanudo.
Con encanto, ligereza y corazón, Liniers aporta su distintiva línea gráfica y sus sensibles acuarelas a todo lo que se le pueda pasar por la cabeza un día cualquiera. Ya sea para hacer un comentario sobre la cultura pop, el mundo en que vivimos o el medio ambiente, o para celebrar el arte, la naturaleza o el acto de leer, Liniers expresa sus ocurrencias con alegría y belleza. Y casi siempre resulta, además, muy gracioso.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Elves, witches, forest monsters, unicorns, children, talking cats and penguins… plus zombies with fitbits, Stephen King’s Christine working as an Uber, and office politics? The bounds of a daily comic strip don’t restrict Macanudo’s imagination or subjects.
With the range of The Far Side, the whimsy of Mutts, and the heart of Calvin & Hobbes, artist Liniers brings his distinctive illustrative line and sensitive watercolors to whatever crosses his mind on a given day. Readers of the previous volume will recognize some recurring characters and stock players, but each book stands alone, and every strip builds its own world. Whether commenting on pop culture, society, or the environment, or celebrating art, nature or the act of reading, Liniers (Ricardo Siri) expresses his thoughts with joy and beauty. Most of them are pretty funny, too.
Beginning in 2002 in Buenos Aires, Macanudo steadily gained popularity around the world, and has been appearing in US newspapers since 2018. Optimism is for the Brave is the second of a series of volumes collecting Liniers' groundbreaking strip.
