Tiago da Bernarda 'O Gato Mariano: Críticas Felinas (2014-2018)'

Tiago da Bernarda’s 'Críticas Felinas (2014-2018)' compiles the sharp-tongued, hilarious musings of his feline alter ego, O Gato Mariano. Since 2014, this outspoken, medium-sized, sharp-witted cat has prowled the corners of the Internet dissecting the latest in Portuguese alternative music. What began as a webcomic quickly gained cult status, leading to this first anthology that gathers the best comic strips from four prolific years. Presented in a vivid 144-page volume (many pages in color) with a unique cat-shaped die-cut cover, the collection captures the irreverent spirit and biting humor that have made O Gato Mariano an underground icon.

As Volume 13 of the Colecção Mercantologia series—dedicated to preserving forgotten fanzine and underground comic material—'Críticas Felinas (2014-2018)' also features content originally published across various platforms, including Instagram, Rimas e Batidas, and multiple zines between 2014 and 2018. Edited by Marcos Farrajota with design by Joana Pires and published by Associação Chili Com Carne, the book celebrates Tiago da Bernarda’s distinctive voice and artistic vision. This edition, supported by IPDJ, Lovers & Lollypops, and Thisco, cements O Gato Mariano’s place in the rich tradition of subversive and boundary-pushing comics.
