Popularly known as El Perich, he was a writer, cartoonist and comedian. He also translated French series such as Asterix the Gaul, Lieutenant Blueberry and Achilles Heel, among others. His jokes were as funny as they were serious, because of their conciseness, comic mechanism and the seriousness of the issues addressed. He created numerous short phrases and aphorisms that are still considered current today. We leave you with a small compilation:
