Macanudo #2
Macanudo #2
Macanudo #2 collects more of Liniers' great daily strip (the first selection of which appeared in volume #1). And like the first volume, this new collection is marked by subtle charm, existential wit, a playful sensibility, and a probing mind. Dive in for more Henrietta and her cat, Fellini; more Mandlebaum, the teddy bear; more sensitive robot, and much else besides!
Ricardo �Liniers” Siri is an acclaimed and well-beloved Argentine cartoonist, whose wildly popular daily strip Macanudo (�cool”) has been published in the Argentine newspaper La Nación for the past ten years. This strip has won him fans throughout the world and comparisons to the cartoonist heavyweights Charles Schultz and Bill Watterson. Liniers also travels around the world with musician Kevin Johansen, painting on big canvases on stage while Johansen makes music. Sometimes, they switch places. Liniers has over 3,600 published comic strips and has published over twenty-five books in Spanish, and more than ten books in nine countries from Brazil to the Czech Republic. His first book to be published in English, The Big Wet Balloon, has been both a critical and popular success and was selected as a best book of 2013 by Parents Magazine. And the fourth volume of his Macanudo to appear in French was recently selected for the 2014 Angouléme Festival. Together with his wife Angie, Liniers also founded the comics publisher La Editorial Común. Liniers lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with his wife and three daughters—Matilda, Clementina, and Emma. No penguins though. . . Yet.

Acclaimed Argentinian cartoonist and painter Liniers has more than 25 books out, most of them only in Spanish, and is now getting a little known in the U.S. as the books get translated. This is a second collection of strips, funny, sweet, surreal, entertaining. Check them out. Uniquely Liniers. Nothing else quite like him. Some characters, like a little penguin, are pretty stable, but he doesn't do a Peanuts world, with regular characters in a neighborhood, he just draws strips, and has a quirky sense of humor. My kids like it, but I don't think it is just for kids.
The first page cartoon may help one get at what Liniers is "about":
There's two little penguins looking up at the last leaf on a late fall tree. One of them yells, "Don't do it! Don't jump!"
I know, pretty funny, right? And not heavy. But when did Charles Schulz have to be heavy to be amazing?
Above the penguins, there's a quotation from Chris Ware, whom I imagine to be an admirer and certainly a fellow (maybe a few degrees lighter) comics master: "The possible vocabulary of comics is, by definition, unlimited. . . "
You keep that in mind as you read and enjoy.

This stuff is just great. I met him yesterday and he’s one of the funniest guys you’ll ever meet, too. My favorite comic strip right now.

Viciei nessas tirinhas
É como um paliativo para o dia a dia.
Gosto da variedade de personagens, fico na expectativa esperando as tirinhas de Oliverio, a azeitona, ou da Enriqueta com seu gato Fellini e seu ursinho Madariaga (que toda tira acho que vai quebrar o silêncio e falar alguma coisa haha), o quadro: gente que anda por aí, é demais também! Gosto dos penguins, dos duendes, do quadro do tradutor de filmes.. acho que gosto de tudo.
São ilustrações tão bonitas, tão gostosas de ficar olhando! E os textos que parecem inocentes sao certeiros em suas críticas.

Adoro Liniers. As tirinhas de Macanudo são sempre divertidas. Uma delícia de ler aos poucos, algumas por dia, especialmente quando os dias não são tão simpáticos com a gente.

Sin duda las historietas que más me gustan son las de Enriqueta y Fellini, siempre me ponen de buen humor y me hacen reír, sería muy divertido tener un gato como él que hablase y te acompañara en todas tus aventuras.
Y no puedo evitar pensar que algunas historietas son como una invitación a salir de lo aburrido y monótono y disfrutar de todos esos detalles que muchas veces ignoramos por estar inmersos en la rutina.
Todo el libro está lleno de historietas muy divertidas, historias con personajes bastante peculiares y creativos, que te hacen pasar un buen rato, por lo que no puedo más que decir que la obra de Liniers es más que recomendable.

Hace mucho no disfrutaba tanto con unas tiras cómicas, pero es que este libro es una maravilla: las risas y las reflexiones siempre están aseguradas.

Příběhy jsou rozděleny to mini stripů, někdy mají pokračování a někdy ne (původně byly příběhy tištěny v novinách).
Rozhodně se nenechte oblafnout stylem kresby, která vám může připomínat dětský komiks.
Kniha je plná stripů, co jsou úsměvné, poetické, dojemné a pár z nich mi vyvolalo malou existenční krizi (viz Oliver Oliva).
Jedna z mých nejoblíbenějších částí je "Pán, kterým překládá názvy filmů". Velmi mě těší, že tenhle "problém" není jen u nás, ale všude po světě.
Knížka je to teňoučká, rozhodně stoji za přečtení (prosím, mějte existenční krizi se mnou).

I love this comic strip in the funny papers, so I sought out the books and they do not disappoint! Henrietta is me in my soul, I love her strip the best and she is featured heavily in this edition. I love the hidden jokes and double meanings. Just a delight!

Un libro con mucha carga sentimental, te puedo asegurar muchos suspiros, risas y reflexión. 5 estrellas no más

Este libro recopilatorio de las tiras surrealistas que realiza el ilustrador Ricardo "Liniers" Siri no necesita explicación. Sus tiras altamente poéticas y sus trazos pastel hacen de la obra de Liniers un placer ocular para adentrarse en un mundo lleno de bestias imaginarias y personas que andan por ahí.

This book is a comic book that contains a few steady characters throughout the book. However, none of their stories are more than about 5 pictures long. Even though each story is very short, they are developed, but none of them intertwine with each other.
The illustrations are very cartoon-like with bright reds and yellows to match the style of the comic writing. Each story has a thick white gutter around each frame which creates the "distant" feeling between each strip since they aren't in any kind of sequence.
Overall, I didn't really enjoy the book, mainly because there was no plot line. However, if a reader just wants to pass a little but of time without wanting to get involved in a book, it is a good choice to read.

This second collection of comic strips from a talented and observant artist from Argentina will make readers smile in self-recognition while also making them think--and then think again. Many of the favorite elements from his earlier collection are here, including Henrietta and her stuffed bear, Mandelbaum, and beloved cat, Fellini, as well as those somehow hilarious garden gnomes, sneezing planets, and a very sensitive robot. Every reader will have his/her favorite character or strip in this eclectic collection guaranteed to amuse and encourage readers to think. I enjoyed these very much as I expect anyone who likes to read Bone or Calvin and Hobbes will.

Este es el segundo librito de Liniers que leo, igual que el primero se me atravesó en una librería y lo compré, de paso me enteré que ya hay 11 volúmenes (!!!) supongo que los iré comprando poco a poco. Me gustó mucho, igual que Macanudo 1, a ese no le escribí reseña y no tengo idea por qué. Las tiras de Liniers se leen rápido y el libro las tiene acomodadas de forma interesante, no sé si las publicaron así pero la edición es buena. Algunas dan risa y otras te dejan pensando - y seguro que no entendí unas cuantas / bastantes.

Los primeros tomos de esta serie me encantaron por más que ahora recuerde muy poco de qué traía cada cosa, quizás porque los leía de prestado y los devolvía rápido. Lo debería releer en el Macanudo Universal si algún día cae en mis manos esa edición, tan hermosa como cara.

So glad to have discovered this book on the shelves at the local library. Translated from the Spanish, the art is beautiful, the feel is not so much whimsical as pleasantly and irresistibly odd and it is a thing of beauty and wonder.

Liniers es el equilibrio perfecto entre mi gusto por Quino y mi fascinación por Montt. Es un maestro!
