Toto's Pranks
Book Summary
An irreverent humor comic starring Toto, the naughtiest and wittiest kid in school. Standing barely a foot and a half tall, this little genius of chaos manages to keep parents and teachers on their toes with his endless questions, insatiable curiosity, and an inexhaustible repertoire of excuses. A light and fun read that captures the essence of the most rebellious childhood, ideal for those seeking graphic entertainment with charismatic characters and everyday situations pushed to the extreme of absurdity.

Editorial Review
Toto's Pranks is a classic graphic humor offering that achieves its goal: to make you laugh. Its strength lies in the universality of childhood mischief, which allows any reader, regardless of age, to recognize in Toto the rebellious child we all carry within us. Although it is short, the quality of the drawing and the construction of the comedic situations manage to maintain interest page after page. It is a solid choice for those looking for a light comic, without grand narrative pretensions, but with a high component of immediate fun.
