Il Giornalino #12

In "Al 21 scoppia la primavera," a humble cat named Timofiei is awarded a medal for valor—though his heroic deed involves a surprisingly lucrative discovery while hunting truffles, netting him a staggering 55 million. Meanwhile, the tiny nation of Liechtenstein, with just 30,000 residents, somehow produces 60 million fake teeth. Illustrated by Carlo Peroni and featuring a cover by the same artist, this whimsical 1996 issue from Il Giornalino blends absurdity and charm in a tale that’s as unexpected as it is delightfully strange.
