Ricardo Siri Liniers, better known by the name Liniers, is an Argentine cartoonist.

Two two have developed a very special show in which Johansen performs while Liniers does his painting representing what is told in songs. His comics are simple and direct to the point of sometimes seeming wide-eyed and wet behind the ears, but there is a candor that comes with his sincerity and a savage wit that lurks just under the surface.
