Memín Pinguín #399

In "¡Petróleo!", Memín y Ernestillo dig a hole to hide Memín’s failed exam from Ma’ Linda—only to strike something unexpected: what looks like oil. When Memín accidentally falls in and hits his head, he slips into a surreal dream where he’s the proud owner of a fortune in oil wells, and even his friends plot against him to steal his newfound wealth. A clever twist on friendship and fear, this 2013 issue from Grupo Editorial Vid features a typeset lettering style and delivers a memorable, offbeat adventure in the long-running series.
