Macanudo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macanudo is an Argentine daily comic strip by the cartoonist Liniers. It is published in the newspaper La Nación. It appears on the last page of the paper. Just like Liniers' previous strip, Bonjour, Macanudo is very experimental and deals with meta humor.

[edit] Characters

Macanudo generally follows a nonlinear plot line, but several characters frequently recur:

Enriqueta, a little girl

Fellini, her cat and confidant
