After seven years on the web, artist Xavier Àgueda’s cartoons have made the move to paper in El Gran Libro de Cinefilia, a 300-page collection of cinephile jokes, and are set to do so again in January as part of the TMEO Collection. A one-man production, El Listo (Spanish for “the clever one” or “the know-it-all”) is composed of vignettes featuring jokes about sex, relationships and culture illustrated by refreshingly simplistic drawings.
Àgueda’s characters wouldn’t look out of place scribbled on napkins or on the back of schoolbooks, but they are nonetheless full of charm and wit, and their appearance of spontaneity is one of the most striking features about his comics.
