This is a good question. My favorite writer is Roberto “El negro” Fontanarrosa, an argentinian cartoonist and writer. He born in 1944 on Rosario, Santa Fe. The soccer is very popular in this city, Even more Buenos Aires. That are a reason because he is a huge fan of soccer sport, specially of Rosario Central. This isnt trite, because the soccer is an important element on his work. In my opinion, is the best writer in this area, relating neighbourhood stories, anonymous football players, crazy and funny stories of amateur soccer, without intellectual pretentions. He said "People would say that I'm comic writer, at most, and that will be true. I don't care too much how people will define me as a writer. I don't want to be a Nobel laureate. It will be enough for me if anyone tells me 'I laughed my ass off with your book.”
He too is a cartoonist, the most popular on his country after Quino(Mafalda). With characters like Inodoro Pereyra, who tell the life of this gaucho and her way of life, always with humor. Isnt a sociological study. I know her with this comic and the first thing leave an impression on me was his creativity. He worked with antiheroes characters, like the same Inodoro Pereyra or Boogie “el aceitoso”, an american stereotype òf mercenary soldier, rough and sexist.
In her last years, he work on animated film. Designed the art for “Fierro”, the movie of Martín Fierro and co-writer the story of this popular character.
