Este nuevo libro de material inedito no es una mera antologia de papeles encontrados en los cajones luego de queel inefable Roberto Fontanarrosa saliera de gira por el universo. Es, lisa y llanamente, una cedula de identidad, unrelicario para colgar de una cadenita, un magnifico caleidoscopio donde todas y cada una de las distintas facetas del Negro se hacen presentes para saber quien fue, quien es y quien sera para siempre ese entra\able creador que mostro, como nadie, el verdadero ser nacional.Incorrectohasta en los espacios en blanco, por aqui desfila su desembarco en Hortensia, una memorable foto con los colegas,las razones mas profundas de su enjundia 'canalla', los recuerdos mas insolitos de suinfancia, los secretos mejor guardados de su adolescencia, sus inapetencias culinarias y hasta poemas. Si, poemas. En suma, el 100 % Negro de este Negro.

Roberto Fontanarrosa (Rosario, 1944–2007), known as "El Negro", was an Argentine cartoonist, writer, and illustrator. His career began in the 60s in magazines like Boom and Satiricón, and later in the newspaper Clarín. He created iconic characters such as Inodoro Pereyra and Boogie, the Oily, who became icons of Argentine comics. His style combined humor, social critique, and a deep connection with popular culture.

Among his most notable works are El mundo ha vivido equivocado (1982), No sé si he sido claro (1986), and Puro fútbol (2000), reflecting his passion for football and everyday life. He also wrote novels like Best Seller (1981) and El área 18 (1982). He received awards such as the Konex Platinum Award in 1994 and the Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Honor Mention in 2006. In his honor, November 26 is celebrated in Argentina as National Humorist Day.
