Following in the distinguished footsteps of greats like \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e and Argentine forebears like \u003ci\u003eMafalda, Macanudo\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant synthesis of \u003ci\u003eKrazy Kat\u003c\/i\u003e’s sophisticated and irreverent inventiveness, and \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e’ expansive humanity and artistry.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreewheeling and bustling with manic charm and sweetness, each strip builds anticipation for the next unexpected creative revelation or revivifying variation on a theme. With a masterful sense of flow, combined with show-stopping images of breathtaking beauty, the heel-clicking, childlike glee contained in these pages is matched only by the joy of splashing about an undiscovered creek or the vivid crunch of autumn’s first leaves. It’s no wonder Liniers has his praises sung by the likes of Matt Groening, David Byrne, and Jeff Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollecting the first three Fantagraphics \u003ci\u003eMacanudo\u003c\/i\u003e volumes, \u003ci\u003eWelcome to Elsewhere, The Way of the Penguin\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOptimism is for the Brave\u003c\/i\u003e, this fetching box set is a must-have for lovers of comic-strip-as-art, and an essential for everyone seeking the hidden wonder in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBorn in Buenos Aires in 1973, \u003cb\u003eLiniers\u003c\/b\u003e (Ricardo Siri) became a daily cartoonist at 28 almost by accident, when other Argentine newspaper cartoonists had decamped to Spain at the nadir of a recession. He saw his role on the last page of \u003ci\u003eLa Nacion\u003c\/i\u003e as offering a respite from dour news, but the strip’s whimsy and humanity quickly led \u003ci\u003eMacanudo\u003c\/i\u003e to expand to papers across Latin America, and eventually beyond to Europe and North America. Three of Liniers' children's books have been published in the US, with \u003ci\u003eGood Night, Planet\u003c\/i\u003e, winning the comics industry Eisner Award for Best Publication For Early Readers in 2018. He currently lives in Vermont.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48234729472161,"sku":"BBSNIJ9798875002267","price":76.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9798875002267.jpg?v=1793090364","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/macanudo-whats-in-the-box-hardcover-by-liniers","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
