Yes, we can. And our lives would improve considerably. This is a collection of comic strips first released by the satiric magazine El Jueves in which you will find irony, parody and harsh humor. 32 COMIC STRIPS Calle San Pedro, 20 (Barrio de las Letras) 28014 - Madrid SPAIN +34 911 376 171 Ricardo Esteban [email protected] www.dibbuks.com Front illustration: Colo – Back Illustration: Fernando Vicente
