Synopsis "Qué Presente Impresentable! (in Spanish)"

El humor inconfundible de Quino aplicado esta vez a la crónica política y social de nuestros tiempos. Quino ha hecho del humor una filosofía de vida, una herramienta para enfrentarnos a lo que somos y lo que hacemos con dignidad. Ahora más que nunca, el presente nos desconcierta y nos asusta, y de ahí la voluntad de Quino de hablar de terrorismo, de atropellos, de abusos y de engaños (desde la publicidad que invade nuestras casas hasta los productos que nos venden en un supermercado. Ese presente, que se ha vuelto impresentable para la mayoría de ciudadanos de a pie, va a estar en las nuevas tiras de Quino para que pasemos de la sonrisa a la reflexión.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONQuino's unmistakable humor applied this time to the political and social chronicles of our time. Quino has made humor his life's philosophy, a tool to face what we are and what we do with dignity. Now more than ever, the present is disconcerting and scary and from there comes Quino's willingness to talk about terrorism, outrages, abuses, and deceptions (from the advertising that is invading our homes to the products sold in supermarkets). That present, which has become disgraceful for the majority of average citizens, is going to show up in Quino's new comic strips so that we can go from laughing to reflecting.

Quino was born in Mendoza (Argentina, 1932-2020). He was an Argentine cartoonist and comic artist, globally known for creating Mafalda, the critical, intelligent, and world-committed girl who became a Spanish-speaking cultural icon. From a young age, he showed talent for drawing and, after leaving the School of Fine Arts, he fully dedicated himself to graphic humor. He published in numerous media and gained international recognition for his ironic and sensitive view of society, politics, and human beings. His most famous work, Mafalda, was published between 1964 and 1973, and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Additionally, Quino created dozens of graphic humor books like ¡A mí no me grite!, Gente en su sitio, or Bien, gracias, ¿y usted?. He received awards such as the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities in 2014, recognizing his immense contribution to critical thinking and universal humor.
