Features: This book is a collection of works by Argentine cartoonist Modillo. The complete set consists of ten volumes. Modillo's cartoons possess a distinct artistic personality and unique style. His cartoons are vibrant in color, showcasing a magical and dreamlike world. The ultra-temporal and surreal imagination in his works infuses a rich romantic atmosphere into their humorous essence. Additionally, Modillo's cartoons carry profound philosophical depth. He believes that humans should live together in peace and happiness without any barriers. The wordless format of his cartoons transcends language barriers, clearly reflecting his ideological stance. Modillo's illustrations are characterized by smooth lines and bright, elegant colors. His main characters, whether human or animal, have round, humorous, and adorable appearances, enhanced by exaggerated large noses, which is no wonder why they are so beloved. The master of silent comedy, Marcel Marceau, once described appreciating Modillo's artwork as watching a tightly paced movie, where unexpected surprises follow one after another, with many unforeseen wonders and absurd logic tightly intertwined. Modillo said, "Humans believe in their future, despite all the difficulties, they must find ways to overcome them. For me, this is the strength of human nature. It is through this that humans develop a strong willpower, allowing them to live creatively." Modillo is indeed a creator who is always searching, always trying, and constantly challenging himself. He not only observes with his eyes but also feels life with his heart. Like the pitiful, absurd, and comical little characters in his works. Although they bear witness to the cruelty and stupidity of humanity before us, on the other hand? Behind the cruelty and stupidity, isn't Modillo also reshaping humanity's noble ideals and expectations for life? Thank you to the master of black humor, Modillo, for warming our hearts with humor and cleansing our minds with black comedy.
