Julio E. Suárez

Julio Emilio Suárez Sedraschi (born September 16, 1909 in Salto, died on August 15, 1965 in Montevideo)[1] was a Uruguayan caricature artist, journalist, and comic book artist.

Biography

Julio E. Suárez was one of the pioneers of comic strips in Uruguay. Born in Salto, Uruguay, he traveled to Montevideo to study architecture in 1927,[2] but he quickly abandoned his studies. In that time he began career with newspapers and his relationship with the short-lived[3] Uruguayan newspaper, El Nacional, where he published parliamentary notes.[1] He published his first drawings (Wing y Roncadera) in "El Plata", before he moved to the magazine "Mundo Uruguayo" in 1934 where he published two series of drawings, “Ríase o no” (laugh or not) and “Contra-refranes” (contradictions). He worked with Mundo until 1950.[3]

Along with his work as an illustrator, he wrote scripts starring his character "Peloduro" for the radio broadcast station CX 24 in Montevideo and became an illustration teacher in the school of applied arts.[3] He also created the character “Marieta Caramba” voiced by actress Jebele Sand on CX 30 Radio Nacional.[3]

Throughout his career he used various pseudonyms among them “pelo”, “Marcos Tuáin” “Pepe Repepe” and “El Mono”. However, his most widely used names were “JESS” and “peloduro”.

He died in 1965.[3]

Homages

Since 1996 el Museo de Humor y la Historieta, (Comic and Humor Museum), in the city of Minas (Comic and Humor Museum), Uruguay which was founded in 1992, carries his name, as well as a street in Montevideo. The museum also issues a "Peloduro" award.[4]

In 1967 after his death, two compilations of his works were published “Diccionario del Disparate” and “Comentarios internacionales de “El Pulga”.

Since 2011 Uruguay celebrates Día de la Historieta on September 16 in honor of Suárez's birthday.[5]

gollark: `a` is just one value, so the second return is discarded, so it works sensibly.
gollark: `gsub` actually returns multiple values. Because Lua, since it's the last thing passed to that function, `table.insert` is passed the string it returns and a number from it. `table.insert` has an overload where it takes `(table, position, value)` or something instead of `(table, value)`.
gollark: The alternative to having it be a GPS server thing would be per-dimension "dimservers" or something providing the dimension name (and possibly server name and metadata), which could work too I guess.]
gollark: The main problem I envision is that I haven't worked out a standard for dimension naming, so it just uses the one it receives the most fixes containing, which can be basically anything the GPS servers want, and that it won't function reliably without a large amount of dimension-enabled GPS servers.
gollark: I've patched dimension support into the GPS libraries in potatOS and my trilaterating GPS server. Would people be interested in dimension support in GPS and/or should I PR it into CC: Tweaked?
