Echavarria, Luis – Guino Danino

Guino Danino

The best guess I’ve been able to come up with (based on internet translation doodads) for that title is “depraved blink.” Believe it or  not, that’s actually a pretty great title for this comic. This is another shorty from Luis, as I continue my quest to review all of the tiny comics that he sent me a few months back. This starts off with a man (Ricardo) waiting for a doctor of some kind, and when he walks into his office the phone of the receptionist breaks in her hand. He apologizes, she (and the reader) react in confusion, and Ricardo meets his doctor. This doctor is more of a voodoo doctor than anything else, as he hypnotizes Ricardo to try and get to the root of his problem. Some memories are uncovered, a possible solution is proposed, end of comic. That’s what I love about Luis’s work so far: even though it’s short stuff, each of them has been utterly unique in their own way. Sure, there are comics with people with telekinesis, but they’re usually wearing spandex, and it’s rarely depicted as the out of control menace that it would be if it existed at all in real life. Another great mini, another one where I have to guess on the price, so… $3?
