Macanudo

For the cigar brand, see Macanudo (cigar).

Macanudo is an Argentine daily comic strip by the cartoonist Liniers. It is published since 2002 ^[1] 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. It has been considered very popular.

Henrietta (Enriqueta), a little girl who reads a lot, and has a large imagination, her confidant Fellini, a sneaky black cat, and Mandelbaum (Madariaga), her teddy bear .^[2]
