Il Giornalino #16

In "Le corsie incrociate," a whimsical winter in China sees giraffes bundling up in coats, while a man smokes 800 cigarettes in six minutes—setting a record, but paying the price with a pounding headache. Meanwhile, a mere 2 cents in taxes triggers a bizarre stamp frenzy involving 32 postage stamps. Illustrated with playful precision by Carlo Peroni and featured on a cover by Franco Oneta, this 1996 issue of Il Giornalino delivers its usual mix of surreal humor and absurd logic in a single, delightfully strange snapshot.
