>>93731179
I see what you did there.
>>93733491
Is Mafalda the latin american Calvin?
>>93737938
Explain this shit to me.
>>93737975
If Calvin was a politician.
>>93737979
Malfalda's creator's pen name is Quino.
Pronounced the same way as "kino".
>>93738041
Ohhhhhh.
>>93738070
Is this really by Quino?
>>93738070
>>93738158
This isn't Quino, is The Bus by Paul Kirchner.
Now, this is Quino.
>>93738581
Another one I don't get.
>>93738637
Some restaurants used to put their meat hanging from their ceiling to show the quality of their food. That one felt on one of the customers.
>>93738904
How does it show quality?
>>93738951
To be honest i am not sure why they put the meat there. I guess some people who actually know about meat and food could appreaciate it. Or maybe it was just some tradition.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despensa
Whatever, that is the explanation of that strip.
>>93731179
Quino is my favorite argentinian comic artist.
>>93739058
>Las despensas eran corrientes en casas antes del uso extensivo del frigorĂfico.
The hipsters will bring 'em back.
>>93739114
What is the competition?
>>93739166
Maybe he just caught her reading a dirty rag.
>>93739197
I don't get this one either.
>>93739149
I get this one.
>>93739166
I always found the comics with Felipe and that cute little girl a bit too derivative of the little red-headed girl from Peanuts.
Also, I heard she was raised in a lab by a med-school drop-out.
>>93739293
It is like my comfort zone.
>>93739239
He is senile. He is so old he thinks death is his mother.
>>93739320
>Also, I heard she was raised in a lab by a med-school drop-out.
What?
>>93739146
>What is the competition?
The ones that comes to mind right away are Fontanarrosa and Caloi, but there are a lot of other comic artists from Argentina. None that are famous worldwide I'm afraid.
>>93739330
This is me but I imagine what her music taste is like before I try approach.
>>93739364
Which ones have English translations? I can read Spanish but I live right now in an Anglo country.
>>93738637
>>93738904
>>93738581
I thought the joke was that guy got "ham"mered
If you guys don't get this comic I don't want to see when somebody start to upload Quino's political strip, the best part of Quino's work.
>>93739371
He must be poor as fuck to not have a stool and a noose, or if he wanted to make sure they are good enough to get the job done.
>>93739440
I can see this happening in Brazil more than Argentina.
>>93739437
That might be it but ham in Spanish is JamĂłn and we don't have a pun for that working in the strip.
>>93739360
It's true, her dad couldn't afford to feed her so he just gave her the pills they usually give mice for the experiments.
>>93739428
What could she have read for her mother to want to make her brain dead?
>>93739437Carloooos
>>93739514
It sounds like copypasta.
>>93739514
This is what happened to the rats of NIMH.
>>93739547
Giger would be proud.
>>93739514Carajo, now i remember Susanita said something like that about her. I didn't understand the joke.No soy digno.
>>93739691
Are you talking about Libertad or someone else?
>>93739527
Civil War II
>>93739716
That is a brilliant strategy.
>>93739731
Is that some Marvel shit?
Am I doing it right?
>>93739741
Can't tell if he wants him dead or just for the view.
>>93739782
hehehe
>>93739724
No, Susanita.
>>93739782
Is this a MAD center fold?
>>93739836
I think it is Quinua.
>>93739411
Sadly I think that both Caloi and Fontanarrosa never released comics in english. They also use a lot more words than Quino, so they are harder to share to non-spanish speakers.
Here is the first book of "Boogie el aceitoso" by Fontanarrosa, which roughly translates to Boogie the oily. He is a parody of a racist, violent bounty hunter. Lots of black humor, I like the character a lot. https://es.slideshare.net/ETNILUMIDAD/fontanarrosa-roberto-boogie-el-aceitoso-libro1
>>93739527
Having a well-behaved girl is not socially acceptable anon, the mother was right to be worried.
>>93739819
Just like my Japanese animes.
>>93739149
I like this.
An official artist's explanation on it?
>>93739857
Like the Final Fantasy character?
>>93739860
>They also use a lot more words than Quino, so they are harder to share to non-spanish speakers.
Can't be worse than the many French comics that remain untranslated to the Anglos. I hope.
>>93739905
I don't think Quino liked explaining his work.
>>93739905
He usually doesn't give explanations. I guess it is something about looking for something better and ending with even less.
>>93739819
If you think that's bad, remember Manolito's big brother moved to the US to become a pedophile.
>>93739988
And yet Che Guevara is the only fag who gets shirt sales unless the last one is John Lennon.
He also regrets some of their works like pic related. He said he shouldn't have done something this racist, however he put it in one of the compilation books saying that it was one of his old works and there was not point in hiding it.
>>93740053
Holy shit, you got a strip?
>>93739905
What he saw as darkness wasn't darkness but the end of the page, he tried to lit it up and ended burning the page until he confined himself to that little corner.
>>93739876
For comparison
>>93740110
Can't be worse than the racist shit that cartoons were doing in the golden age of animation.
>>93740131
Now that is existential!
>>93740132
I did not understand shit, either, Felipe.
>>93739905
when we try to find answers, we often wind up realizing that we know less than we think about the world.
>>93740053
Assuming Mafalda takes place in the years it was run, is it not easier to get away with statutory rape in Latin America due to corruption than in the US?
>>93740224
"All I know is that I know nothing."
>>93740250
I wonder how Tumblr's fat shame / pride would react to this food privilege.
>>93739944
At least with french comics you just need to learn french, some words in Fontanarrosa's comics are only used here by countrymen, making it hard to understand even if you are from Spain or other latinamerican countries.
>>93740323
Now I am even more interested to find out just how impenetrable words might be from him.
>>93740323
This is just begging for an edit.
>>93740352
Works better than staking your life on chess.
>>93740414
Change it to looking up the meaning of feminism and how it has changed to the point it no longer means what people think it does online.
>>93740110
I don't see anything wrong with it.
>>93740477
This comic just reminds me that I have no real life friends, that I avoid my online friends due to my real life problems and being too worried they are tired of me talking to them, behind my back.
>>93740519
Mammy and black faces have not exactly stood the test of civil rights, sir.
>>93740378
Here is an example. It also uses words in the way they sound instead of the way they are written, like saying "I gotta get there" instead of "I got to get there" and changing letters to show the accent of the character.
>>93740670
The way the words are spelled for the sake of the accents remind me of the spelling in Krazy Kat.
>>93738581
>>93738637
A subtle reference to the Sword of Damocles. Various wealthy people are having dinner at a fancy restaurant with meat hanging above their heads. One of the patrons meets his demise through the falling of this piece of meat, showing the uncertainty of fortune. Any one of those patrons could have been the victim, whether they perish through the will of the people or through their own hubris. You can see the fear in the other patrons, as they too know that they could be next. Clearly, the only winning play is to leave the room, symbolizing giving up the evils of money.
>>93741398
Deepest lore.
>>93740766
is Krazy Kat the greatest gay inter species love story ever told?
>>93741589
Yes, though I have seen some people try to claim it is a real trans love story.
