Francisco Ibáñez Talavera

ROMPEVIDAS

Prolific Spanish cartoonist Francisco Ibáñez Talavera has died aged 87. His comic books were a bedrock of Spanish culture, especially the bumbling spy duo of Mortadelo y Filemón. Other creations included the eclectic ensemble of apartment inhabitants 13, Rue del Percebe and the Mr. Magoo-esque Rompetechos. He was still inking strips until shortly before his death, and was a unique hit for Alternative Observations 2023.
