Spain, 1910 to 1975

In short

José Peñarroya Peñarroya (Forcall, Castellon, 1910, Barcelona, 1975) was a Spanish cartoonist of the Bruguera School, creator of famous characters such as Don Pío (about a mild-mannered man and his demanding wife) or Gordito Relleno (about a fat and kindly man people always take advantage to). He also was, alongside Cifré, the "official" cover artist of many of the publications of the house, until well into the 1960s. As a result, he is considered one of the "Big Five" of that editorial of the 1950s, along with Conti, Escobar, Giner (this, in realistic style) and Cifré.
