Hacha Historieta Argentina #4
In "Esquizoopolis Hoy Presentamos: Ja Ja Ja Jo Jo," writer and letterer Schimpp delivers a delightfully absurd comic strip that plays like a medieval manuscript come to life. Framed by an ornate border of interlaced foliage and sun-and-moon face ornaments, a Viking army marches under a bright sky—only to be halted by a witch’s chaotic battle with a school of fish, her broom handle swinging in a flurry of onomatopoeic slapstick. The cover, by Luis García Durán, complements the story’s playful, hand-crafted aesthetic with intricate pencil and ink detailing.

A single page in three tiers, enclosed in an elaborate decorative border of interlaced foliage with sun and moon face ornaments at the margins - a medieval manuscript pastiche that frames the comedy within it. A Viking army marches on a sunlit morning; a witch figure attempts to fish in a river nearby. The army's advance is interrupted by the witch's battle with the fish - she clubs them with her broom handle in a sequence of onomatopoeic violence.
