A vida é um delírio e o Miguelanxo é um delírio de exageros e surrealismos. O autor pega em situações comuns e usa a hipérbole para criticar a sociedade, e passando por variados temas, retrata o pior da alma humana. Quem gosta de rir do mal e da desgraça dos outros... bom, este é o livro. Diria até que é um riso nervoso, de vergonha alheia pelas personagens (nós próprios?) odiosas e intragáveis, e um riso triste pelas que sofreram na pele a maldade das primeiras. Adoro os vários tipos de traço do autor, a graduação da cor, o seu tom agressivo, a forma como não tem piedade... de nada nem ninguém..., no entanto, recomendo doses homeopáticas, tanto veneno e tanto mal são cansativos, assim como a constante necessidade de desenhar mamas como se não houvesse amanhã. Gosto pessoal à parte, às tantas parece que já li aquela tira há umas semanas atrás, este tipo de repetição também acaba por cansar.

Histórias curtas, numa visão irónica e surrealista do mundo. Entreteve-me, cumprindo por isso o seu propósito.
O traço, o desenho, as cores e as expressões das personagens continuam ao bom estilo do autor e muito do meu agrado.

Historias cortas de Migelanxo Prado, con el elemento común de exagerar la realidad hasta el absurdo con intención de hacer crítica social. Muchos de los chistes son en plan "I hate my wife - Father, I cannot click the book", pero bueno, tampoco nos vamos a poner exquisitos con unas tiras que se publicaron en El Jueves en los '80. Me han entretenido un rato y ya está.

Why did I wait? I'm a price alerts guy due to the magnitude of my voracity but this is worth ANYBODY'S full day of pay!
Mix's masterful melange of the sheer audacity of humanity is a Gatling Gun of aggressively funny 3-6 page vignettes spanning over a decade which all seems, from the set dressings, to be after the advent of personal computers. The ONLY problem I had with this piece of gold was the nearly complete absense of dates any of it was created (very few accompanying his signatures and none of specific publishing on the copyright page or table of contents. At least you know that it was all before 2003.
That last book was after a significant break from books of conventional humor and was simply "chuckle-out-loud" giggles while this is "LOSE-YOUR-BREATH-AND-SWIPE-TEARS-ASIDE-WHEN-YOU-PAINFULLY-STRAIGHTEN-FROM-A-FETAL-POSITION" hysterical!
I need to add to this because of it's full of greatness and very long considering how short the stories are:
Mix won my all-time (I don't award any other way- trends stifle literature) "Best in Brevity" award handily. I would give it for this at half the length! Despite my near-limitless confidence I cannot imagine (seriously) being able to approach for only one page then left-right-ribs-uppercut like he does. He needs no dancing and only one jab after the hooks to set up the KO and even has around two panels left for a built-in epilaugh!
His mastery of pin-pointing and underlining our limitless folly in an unrelenting and PERSONALLY NEUTRAL- He lets the characters do THEIR own "preaching" and roasts across-the-board!
I can't help indulging myself: He proves a long-held CERTAINTY of mine (keep in mind that I'm exhaustively optimistic in spite of keen realism): Humans are the worst thing created that our minds can conceive. The vilest monsters in our fiction are more-or-less predictable and can all be defeated unlike the timeless horrors we innately possess. After all, this "devil" that is so common in people's discourse is the most ridiculous of all "deities". It's simply the scapegoat (why do you think it's drawn with hooves and horns?) used to avoid the horror of the one residing in ALL OF US. I prefer to shoulder mine with an angel on the other and surrender my soul to my guardian but that only works outside of my momentary lapses of pure humanity. How satisfying it was to have an entire book to back me up:::
My above rhetoric proves the primary theme which is well echoed in Senor P.I.T. II's brief introduction: He affirms Map as "... an abundant chronicler, an efficient narrator of daily routine." with "psychological accuracy and his taste for the grotesque is marvelous- much more notable are his ethics: evil is within us, under the system, but clamped down by thick pins within each of us, as can be seen through abuse, picayune power, insularity, impunity and the victory of small-time smarts." in "a world that resembles the one we share, resembles it all to dangerously...(end)"
The detriment of our daily dalliances is deftly and definitively displayed within a diorama of deviance!
OH YEAH THE ART!
Is perfectly suited with his use absurdly manufactured grins and unusual ability to RARELY draw similar characters. He also has command of all ethnicities which us North Americans rarely see in our native artists, most of whom only bother mastering shades of light white. He even employs impossibly (that's important) low ears to add to his caricatures of fools. The art is all-around-great that's even more impressive when done in color!
READ THIS AND WEEP- THE TEARS WILL CLEANSE ANY DIRT FROM YOUR CURRENT DISPOSITION!

Achei deprimente a realidade tão "fielmente" elucidada
Continuo a não conseguir gostar do risco deste desenhista.
Em termos de critica social acaba por ser grotesco.
Suspiro

Mit Ardalén hatte Prado mein Herz erobert. Hier allerdings geht es nicht um eine Geschichte, sondern eine Sammlung von .. Kurzgeschichten mit Panels über ca. 3 Seiten. Dabei richtet Prado den Blick auf Alltäglichkeiten, übersteigert sie und bringt ihre Absurdität bzw. Unmöglichkeit auf den Punkt und prangert mit schwarzen Humor, Ironie und Satire Machogehabe von Männern, Profilierungssucht, Konsum, (Nicht-)Erziehung von Kindern oder Bürokratie etc. an, wenngleich mich nicht jede Pointe vollständig mitnahm. Ich mag Prados Zeichenstil, die Ausdruckskraft der Gesichter seiner Figuren und welche "Mobilität" und Energie in seinen Zeichnungen steckt. Dennoch, an die Graphic Novel Ardalén, die von mir 5 Sterne bekommen hat, reichen diese Kurzgeschichten für mich nicht heran. Daher 4 Sterne.

Este cómic tiene un lugar especial en mi corazón, no por lo que es en sí, sino porque me lo prestó el padre de mi “correspondant”, es decir, la persona con la que realicé un intercambio, concretamente a Francia. Fue una semana llena de placer y felicidad. Mil gracias a ellos por hacerme pasar una de las mejores semanas de mi vida.
Grace à vous, les françaises, pour m’avoir faire passer une des mieux semaines de ma vie.
(Puede que esté mal escrito, pero no importa. Lo único que quería era agradecerles por todo lo que me hicieron vivir). ❤️🩹

O domínio de predileção do autor encontra-se no realçar das contradições humanas, da estupidez e da maldade. Prado não está longe de descrever na perfeição os obscuros sentimentos que nos invadem num momento ou noutro... Esta obra reúne, num só, os 3 livros mais aclamados e vendidos de Prado, constituídos por histórias curtas que são uma sátira aos nossos hábitos quotidianos.

Kratke repetitivne priče bez dosjetke ili duhovitosti u kojima su svi na pozicijama autoriteta oličenja zla, svi muškarci svinje, a sve žene krvopije. Chaboute bi se bar potrudio smisliti twist za kraj.
