Hi and welcome back to our blog. Today I’m going to talk about a new Italian animated series, “Tear along the Dotted Line” (“Strappare lungo I Bordi”) which is now available on Netflix.
It was released on 17 November 2021 and it is now one of the most popular series on Netflix Italy. Its author is Zerocalcare, a roman cartoonist, who wrote and supervised the work for the streaming platform.
The series tells about a trip, that Zero and his friends, Sarah and Secco, have to do. The story is characterized by flashbacks and funny stories (narrated in Roman dialect) about the protagonist’s life, told by Zero himself, who is actually trying to distract himself as well as the audience, from the reason of their trip to Biella.
I suggest to see this series to all of you. You'll be surprised. It is thought-provoking and really funny, it’s original and different though it may at times seem bizarre. It is just a 6-episode series, each one lasts only 22 minutes, this makes it easy and quick to watch. And, by the way, if you are not Italian, you can watch it in English, since it has been dubbed for an international audience.
Zerocalcare, or Michele Rech, is an Italian cartoonist. His pen name is inspired by an Italian TV commercial jingle for a descaler product because he had to choose a nickname to quickly join a discussion on the Internet.
In 2003, at the age of 20, Rech began working as an illustrator for Liberazione. He also worked for Zuda Comics, the online division of DC Comics. In 2004, he created a comic about the G8 summit in Genoa, which had taken place three years before. Zerocalcare published his first graphic novel in October 2011, it was titled “La profezia dell'armadillo”, and in November he created zerocalcare.it , a website where he published autobiographical comic strips. He also won a prize at “Lucca Comics” for best short story, the Gran Guinigi Award. On January 14, 2018, L'Espresso published a short comic by Zerocalcare titled “Questa non è una partita a bocce”, focusing on the rise of Neo-fascist movements in Italy, and on September 3, 2018, the film “La profezia dell'armadillo” was released.
