In this book, Flavita Banana brings together some of her best cartoons – over 200 pages inhabited by wild-haired women and clueless men, all drawn with her unmistakable style, wit, and a healthy dose of home truths. Flavita’s characters chronicle our times, but often also sketch out a world we’d all like to live in. Her humour is universal, stellar, even cosmic.
As Darío Adanti points out in the prologue, “Her cartoons are not jokes; they’re maps of the places where pretence and reality battle it out. At the heart of everything is Flavita, the author, who reveals herself through her characters while pretending to hide behind them. She is with us, on both side of the mirror.”
