About

Macanudo

Join a world of wonderment as it spills from the inkwell of the singularly imaginative Liniers. Macanudo overflows with characters as varied as they are endearing. You’re just as likely to see them prancing across a dreamscape as walking down the street where you live.

No other comic strip will invite you to ponder the mysteries of life and great literature with a little girl named Henrietta and her stuffed bear, Mandelbaum, or waddle alongside a penguin through chilly wind-swept dunes at the tip of South America.

No other comic strip will whirl you away on a fancifully mundane journey with an imaginary monster friend named Olga or so perfectly capture the stomach butterflies of first love. And no other comic strip will take you to all those places with the same humor and charm and irreverence as Macanudo, which in Argentina means “cool.”

Characters

Henrietta, Fellini & Mandelbaum

An independent, very smart and book-loving little girl, Henrietta enjoys swings, stars and conversations with her partner in crime, sarcastic cat Fellini and her catatonic teddy bear, Mandelbaum.

Martin & Olga

Imagination is funny, and this is especially true of Olga, Martin’s imaginary giant blue monster friend. Olga represents our collective childhood memories and imagination, their fragility against an ever more distracting reality.

Gudrun and Huberta

When these two not-so-frightening witches aren't preparing nasty potions, bewitching one another or walking their pet dragon, they are doing their housework or going shopping with their skinny cat Astaroth...like any regular old ladies.

Penguins

Acerbic and sometimes solitary, the penguins offer insight into a natural world that is literally melting away.

Gnomes

Colorfully fashion-minded, surreal and mischievous, the gnomes are a way to distill the whimsy and coincidence of everyday life, the leprechauns of comics.

The Mysterious Man In Black

This character is so Mysterious that even the author himself knows nothing about him. He defies the limits of mystery with his mysterious ways of being mysterious.
