RICARDO LINIERS SIRI, who uses the pen name Liniers, was born in Argentina. He started his artistic career making fanzines for his friends after he realized he was not made for law school. He is the creator of four graphic novels for young readers (three of which are inspired by his daughters) for TOON Books, including his first children’s comics, The Big Wet Balloon, published in 2013, and the Eisner Award-winning Good Night, Planet. Since 2002, Liniers has been writing and drawing the daily strip Macanudo, one of the most celebrated cartoon strips in South America; it has been syndicated in the US since 2018. Liniers and his family currently reside in New England, where he continues to draw Macanudo every day.
