mauricio de sousa: Monica and Friends



this is one of good comic book for children that i really loved.




i knew it from a friend of mine about 6 years ago, back when i was still in college.


Her name is Kak M. She was an assistant lecturer of Matematic department. when i visited her at her dorm, her room was full with many kinds of books, and oddly not only academic references book but she collected stacks of comic books (asterix & tintin sort of comic not elex media type) at the corner of her study desk.




one of it was 'Monica and Friends' by Mauricio. She has no.1, 2, 3 and 7. I borrowed all of it for one night. And then that night, i fell in love with it.




Mauricio able to create such a beautiful but yet meaningfull comic. His drawings is simple and solid. most of its story is a message of joy, of social peace, natural ideology and no boundary of geographical barrier. For children it will be the first step to world peace.




Please welcome mr. mauricio de sousa from brasil and his creation 'MONICA and FRIENDS'
