From the prologue by Koldo Azpitarte: Miguel Gallardo and Paco Roca published two works a couple of years ago (Wrinkles and María and I) whose adult themes and careful production served to transcend the usual sales circuit and reach a new audience, normally far from the mainstream. cartoon world.

What initially was going to be a simple travel notebook in which spontaneity prevailed over formal elaboration, has ended up being a very careful album in which a certain dose of healthy competitiveness can be guessed between two authors who, no matter how much they love and respect each other, need knowing that they were up to par with their colleague: neither of them wanted to be the one with the insipid anecdotes or the poorly drawn pages and as a consequence readers can enjoy a work with a minor vocation, but with blockbuster spells.
