Translated by Mara Faye Lethem.
The Argentinian cartoonist's comic strips are turned into a book full of witty one-liners, reflective moments, and imaginary friends, set in a world that's fantastical but not entirely happy. There is no plot, only recurring characters--most notably Martin and his giant blue imaginary friend Olga, who helps Martin as he studies, eats vegetables, and plays (alone). Liniers's simple aesthetic is vitalized by beautiful but muted coloring.
