With delicate, calligraphic pen work and understated watercolors, the comic skips lightly from style to style and subject to subject, as Liniers allows his imagination and observational humor free reign. Jokes about domestic life, imagined scenarios of historical figures, Cthulu showing up to Tinder dates, characters simply enjoying a pastoral sunset, the puncturing of pop-culture stalwarts: \u003cem\u003eMacanudo\u003c\/em\u003e is a boundless canvas for its author's humane and delightfully off-kilter view of the world, in a way few comic strips have ever even attempted. \u003cp\u003eBeginning in 2002 in Buenos Aires, \u003cem\u003eMacanudo\u003c\/em\u003e steadily gained popularity around the world, appearing in US newspapers since 2018. \u003cem\u003eWelcome to Elsewhere\u003c\/em\u003e is the first of a series of volumes collecting Liniers' groundbreaking strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683965565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Liniers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42253601865909,"sku":"9781683965565","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_147da6bb-7e69-4405-b478-3fe2c79821c5.jpg?v=1656387891","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/macanudo-welcome-to-elsewhere-9781683965565","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
