Il Giornalino #11

In "Dolce sonno," a whimsical tale from Il Giornalino #11 (1996), Texas gears up for the grand launch of a three-tiered pizza, while at the South Pole, rain falls and gardens begin to bloom—unexpectedly. Meanwhile, a dog finds himself in the courtroom, not as a defendant, but as a witness in the unusual case of a cat’s death, where justice takes a surprising turn. Illustrated by Carlo Peroni, with a delightfully surreal cover by Giuseppe Montanari and Claudio Piccoli, this slice of absurdity captures the charm of a 1996 Italian comic at its most playful.
