Macanudo: Welcome To Elsewhere by Liniers. Fantagraphics, 2022. 9781683965565. Introduction by Matt Groening. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781683965565?partnerid=34778&p_bt
Groening compares Liniers's comics to Mutts, Peanuts, and Calvin and Hobbes, calling them "funny and fanciful and whimsical and philosophical in the best sense." Macanudo feels timeless and hand-crafted and makes me feel like I should be reading more comic strips. Its repeating characters include a beaked man in black, two penguins, a friendly monster named Olga, long-hatted elves, a girl and her cat, and others. Anything can happen in these comic strips -- Cthulhu, dragons, superheroes, Dorothy, and even volcanologists make appearances. So does John Venn. Plus there are a fair number of comics about books and reading, too.
This isn't the only collection of Macanudo comics available in English but it is my favorite.
