The Longest Day

In the vein of Paco Roca, this intimate and heartfelt story delves into the deep bond we have with our grandparents and the joy found in the small moments of everyday life

This comic captures the essence of a farewell. Mario’s grandfather has passed away, and the time has come to say goodbye. On a day that feels like it will never end, Mario revisits the cherished memories that still connect him to his grandfather. Through these reflections, where the present intertwines with the past, he realizes that the enduring, special bond they shared—a bond nurtured by the moments, laughter, and life lessons they experienced
together— will forever keep them united.

Beyond its apparent simplicity, this magical and emotional debut by Mario Barranchina simmers a poignant farewell, interlacing present and past to emphasize the importance of appreciating happiness in the tiny, beautiful things of daily life.

A comic about living, right here in this moment, exactly where you are.
