«Caricatura» is the humor comic by Daniel Clowes, published by Ediciones La Cúpula in paperback (108 pages, in Spanish).
Nine short stories in which Daniel Clowes tackles with corrosive humor the tedium, mysteries and absurdity of contemporary life. His characters, often misfits or trapped in the everyday, are portrayed with expressive linework and a mordant look at human nature. Each tale works as an enlarged panel of today's society.
Second edition, with translation by Lorenzo Félix Díaz Buendía, published on June 1, 2006. Part of the Víbora Cómic collection.
Aimed at adult and young adult audiences, especially those seeking a graphic novel with mordant humor and a critical view of the everyday.
Daniel Gillespie Clowes is an American cartoonist, graphic novelist, illustrator, and screenwriter. Most of Clowes's work first appeared in Eightball, a solo anthology comic book series. An Eightball issue typically contained several short pieces and a chapter of a longer narrative that was later collected and published as a graphic novel, such as Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron (1993), Ghost World (1997), David Boring (2000) and Patience (2016). Clowes's illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker, Newsweek, Vogue, The Village Voice, and elsewhere. With filmmaker Terry Zwigoff, Clowes adapted Ghost World into a 2001 film and another Eightball story into the 2006 film, Art School Confidential. Clowes's comics, graphic novels, and films have received numerous awards, including a Pen Award for Outstanding Work in Graphic Literature, over a dozen Harvey and Eisner Awards, and an Academy Award nomination.
