the most popular new comic strip in decades ! Macanudo, the No. 1 comic strip in South America, now comes to the United States. True to form, it has become the most successful U.S. comic strip to launch in the past decade. T he explosive originality of Liniers—Macanudo’s creator—never ceases to amaze. Every strip lifts the lid of a riotously colorful world teeming with life, love, art, literature and gnomes. Readers love the predictably unpredictable style; characters are just as likely to prance across a dreamscape as sit down across from you with all their neuroses in tow. Crafted in a gorgeous watercolor and glorious detail, Macanudo works everywhere in the newspaper—not just the funny pages. Macanudo also brings with it a huge social media fan base, with more than 960,000 followers on Facebook and another 725,000 on Twitter. Isn’t it about time you connected your readers with the most surprising—and optimistic—place in the comic universe?

Welcome to 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. Hailing from Vermont where he is a fellow at the Center for Cartoon Studies and an instructor at Dartmouth, Liniers will tell you that in his native Argentina, MACANUDO means “cool.” The same way you might say to a friend, hey, that hat you’re wearing is cool! Or, hey, have you seen King Features’ latest comic strip? It’s MACANUDO!
