By Osvaldo Macedo de Sousa
(Historian, writer and specialist in graphic humour)
To conclude this series of critiques on aging among cartoonists, this month I give space to an “old” friend, who is younger in spirit than me and who has accompanied me in my activities of producing graphic humor events for more than three decades.

AY, HUMOR, AY, HUMOR | Xaquín Marín and his ‘son’ Gaspariño
By Félix Caballero Wangümert
(Writer, humorist and journalist).
Xaquín Marín (1943) is one of the most universal Galician cartoonists. And when I say Galicians I don't mean Spaniards in general (I know I'm writing in a Latin American medium), but specifically Galicians, natives of Galicia, that region in the northwest of Spain that had already produced other geniuses of humorous drawing that transcended borders and continents such as José María Cao (1862-1918, the father of Argentine political cartoons), Juan Carlos Alonso (1886-1945, the most famous cartoonist in all of South America in his time) or, of course, Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao (1886-1950, the creator of modern Galician cartoons... >>>

(Assistant Dean. Humanities Division. Emeritus College. Arizona State University.
In January 2018, when President Donald Trump boasted that the State of the Union audience (45.6 million) was “the highest number ever,” in fact, both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton had more viewers. Then, on “Late Night,” Steven Colbert concluded, “Nielsen only counts American viewers, but we are sure that many Russians tuned in as well.” In his 2018 State of the Union address, Donald Trump tried to expand the term “Dreamers” by saying that we are all “dreamers.” >>>

Milestones in the History of Humor
Modern clown
Review: Circus clown, and especially the one who, with an air of affectation and seriousness, is paired with the august one (see “clown”). This is also what the lounge clown is called. Many disagree that jester, clown and clown are synonyms. Those who wish to differentiate themselves from the clown claim that they carry out their work outside the circus and appeal not only to getting easy laughter from the public.
Data: Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837) was exclusively a theatrical clown and is considered the father of the modern clown, because he was the artist who elevated this white-faced modality to the role of protagonist, replacing Harlequin.
