Liniers

Ricardo Siri (Buenos Aires, November 15, 1973), better known by the name Liniers, is an Argentine cartoonist.

Early life Liniers is related to viceroy Santiago de Liniers. He began drawing from a very early age; he has remarked that he began to draw in order to enjoy movies at home. "I wanted to have Star Wars and the only way to have it was to draw it. So we could look at it whenever we wanted to." His father was a lawyer and his mother worked at various jobs, including making slippers and little paintings. They have three daughters named Matilda, Clementina, and Emma.

Four volumes of Macanudo have been translated into English by Mara Faye Lethem and published in the United States by Enchanted Lion Books; after being syndicated, the collected strips have been published by Fantagraphics.

The Big Wet Balloon, a TOON Book (El Globo Grande y Mojado) (Pub date: Sept 10, 2013) is the first book by Liniers published in the U.S. In 2014 the artist illustrated some covers for The New Yorker
