Watercolor cartoons from the 1970s and 1980s by a Spanish artist, originally published in France. Some are political, some are sexy, and some are just plain funny. Definitely edgier than the American Sunday-funnies type of cartoons.
From the back of the book:
Puig Rosado's artistic talent is surpassed only by his wit. In Animal Life, he creates a whimsical zoo where a licentious goat lingers at the hotel door, a whale poses as a sauna, and an elephant repairs watches. The easy elegance and seeming naivete of Rosado's watercolors charm us, but it is only after we are seduced by the beauty of the image that the humor sneaks up on us and we laugh. In this volume of selected cartoons, brought together here for the first time, the artist ambushes us with perfect success.
