Late On Period And Dark Poos

CARTOON HISTORY OF A FINAL ... for now.

Since its inception
in April 2005, during the period of Student Club Porteño, Spark has not stopped us satisfaction. First for the creative development of the characters, then by personal relationships that emerged in the middle and finally its impact. Went through several free distribution publications (La Voz de Castelar, which still shines, "Rivadiario From the Hall, among others) until arriving at the best stage of little chronicle of the daily Crónica supplement (when they were professionals who knew ahead of boys and journalism as Blanca Lopez and Martin Arcuri). Each step was a special feeling of excitement. Submit the original and anxious wait to see those ideas turned into something concrete paper. Something that would in the opinion of thousands of people. That was pleasing, displeasing or spend desaparcibido. The same thing happened with the publication of the book by Deux. At first failed attempt to join the library Drawn Adventures (of which we are fans) were chosen because all the titles. To be called by this company for a similar proposal (which included names such as our beloved Rovella) do not hesitate to say yes. Happened again the emotions and anxiety. The book was expected by the end of last year but did not leave. Would we be another victim of global crisis?. Finally, the editor Pablo Muñoz I confirmed the news by phone. And I tell the truth until I saw the book at the kiosk in my neighborhood I refused to believe it.



- Now it's going to be famous, repeated again and again all we know.

I explain that no. How many comic book creators of our country are known to the public?. Let's review: Quino, Caloi, Maitena, Fontanarrosa, Nik, Sendra.En are mostly comedians with decades of work on their backs in newspapers such as Clarin and La Nacion did not hesitate to television advertising campaigns work. People admired by us as ultra Trillo, Meglia, Robin Wood, Daniel Oesterheld Peace or are not known to Dona Rosa. Although more interesting and valuable Susana. Nor do I believe that the publication of a book serves to introduce a character. Today children and adults are bombarded by television and film products to the point where it erases the memory of one another. In one day Cartoon Network animated series emits more than any that could see a child on television in the decade of `70. Better Yogi Bear Two Stupid Dogs?. Probably not. So because one remains alive in the collective memory and the other one is remembered for good memory?. The answer is simple, people like Yogi much time alone were fighting for the interest of spectators, others were quickly replaced by new products which in turn was quickly replaced. How many great movies last only a few days at the movies? Some of them could become a modern classic, as today we are Terminator and Back to the Future, but for the same invasion of fictions that are impossible to separate the bad from the memorable. These comments are not to get depressed. Only serve to know the ground we walk on and not expect the impossible. All we did was very good because of anything we create a character (or a universe of characters) and we add will to have to fight our own book on the shelves of newsstands and comiquerias by drawing attention from both Batman and Ben 10 . It is the first step, much more. We will continue fighting back. As do all those heroes we admire. Real and fictional.
