Editorial
Humor and mockery
On this occasion, dear readers, you are going to read here a brief reflection on irony... Sorry, we did that in the February issue. Well, well, then you will read a text about satire... We already did that too, excuse me... So you are going to read an introspection about the sense of humor... No! Neither!... This already seems like a mockery to our readers... And it is. We wanted to start like this, because what we will really address in this editorial is mockery.
Why did we want to address this topic? Because in the last days of February we read with interest an article about a study carried out by cognitive biologists and primatologists from the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior (Germany) and three universities in the United States (Indiana, California and San Diego). Article published in Proceedings of the Royal Society Biological Sciences... (Read more.. )
Interview with Manuel Arriaga
"Freedom of expression, something so essential and necessary, like everything, has limits"
There are so many Spanish comedians that we invite to talk in this space, that you may have problems with colleagues from other countries. But those from the “mother country” stand out a lot internationally. This is the case of the caricaturist Manuel Arriaga (Ciudad Real, 1954, resident in Murcia). For example: he has just won the IX Lorenzo Goñi First Prize for Graphic Humor. (Read more.. )

Visual Humors: Miniature Sculptures
Have you stopped to think about the work, effort, imagination, care in carving, and precision in vision that tiny sculptures require? And that art deserves all our respect and applause.
Incongruity and exaggeration are elements that foster humor, and the artist Daya Micro Art, from Sri Lanka, by transforming pencil tips into miniature sculptures, surprises us and makes us smile, becoming a talented representative of microcarving. His work is brilliant and admirable, due to his imagination and the effort he uses to achieve them, which reaffirms that creation has no limits. (Read more.. )

Oh, humor, oh humor | The return of Chumy Chúmez
I have always considered Chumy Chúmez to be one of the best Spanish cartoonists of all time (and not only Spanish: in 1973, a Canadian jury proclaimed him the best in the world), but I have the impression that since he died, it has been 21 years old, he is somewhat forgotten. That is why I am very happy about the reissue by the Pepitas publishing house of his book Una autobiografía, published for the first time in 1973. Curiously, it is not a volume of vignettes, but rather a dreamlike, Freudian and surrealist story made with collages from of cuttings of engravings from Spanish magazines from the late 19th century and early 20th century...

Parody
In the New Yorker, Wolcott Gibbs wrote that parody is the most difficult form of creative writing because the style of the subject must be reproduced in a slightly expanded form, while maintaining the interest of people who have not read the original. More complications arise since it must entertain as well as criticize and must be written in a style that is not the writer's own... (Read more.. )
