Gus & Waldo, two penguins in love...
I just discovered that an Italian cartonist, Massimo Fenati, has a really cute on going series about two male penguins, Gus & Waldo. They have their own website, were you can also downloaded some nice pictures and pc tools, and, for now, a nice short cartoon available on YouTube:

Gus and Waldo's Book of Love: Penguins mate for life and Gus and Waldo are happy in their monogamous relationship, but modern life just keeps getting in the way. As the two penguins face the challenges of every-day neuroses - are they thin enough? Beautiful enough? Reading the right magazines? Watching the right programmes? And fulfilling their partner in every way? Successful at work, have enough money and what about that network of friends? - we enjoy the couple's journey through the perils of pop culture and society's obsessions. Things never run quite as smoothly as hoped, but in the end the message is clear: love conquers all, especially when there's a good dose of hanky panky thrown in. With the potential to be a huge cult hit, and perfect for the Christmas market, readers will identify with Gus and Waldo's dilemmas. They will charm the nation and bring a little Antarctic magic to their lives.

Gus and Waldo's Book of Fame: Celebrity is the new black ...and Gus and Waldo want it badly. And they don't care how they get it, they just want to be famous. In the couple's shameless quest for instant fame they try everything: appearing on a reality TV show, taking part in a controversial art installation, forming a boy band, selling kiss-and-tell stories to the tabloids, even streaking at the football World Cup final. But will they manage to get their fifteen minutes of fame and end up on magazine covers from HEAT to VANITY FAIR? As the BOOK OF FAME follows their escalating attempts to become famous and live the dream of Generation Me, Gus and Waldo discover through fishy trials of paps and red carpets that having everyone love you is far from important; as long as you're loved by that special someone, the world is at your feet.
