Roberto Fontanarrosa

Roberto Alfredo Fontanarrosa, known popularly as '''''El Negro'' Fontanarrosa''' (November 26, 1944 in Rosario – July 19, 2007), was an Argentine cartoonist, comics artist and writer. During his extended career, Fontanarrosa became one of the most acclaimed ''historieta'' artists of his country, as well as a respected fiction and short story writer. He created two hugely popular comic strips, as well as their parodic protagonists: ''Inodoro Pereyra'', a gaucho, and ''Boogie, el aceitoso'', a gun-for-hire. He also created the comic book ''Los Clásicos según Fontanarrosa'' ("The Classics According to Fontanarrosa"), which contained a selection of humorous parodies of universal literature mainstays originally published in the magazine ''Chaupinela'', in the 1970s.

In 2013 an Argentine animated film directed by Juan José Campanella and loosely based on Fontanarrosa's short story ''Memorias de un wing derecho'' was released to box office success. Provided by Wikipedia
