  Quino
Quino's humor is characteristically bitter or even cynical, often dwelling on the misery and absurdity of human existence — independently of one's station in life — in face of bureaucracy, misused authority and wasteful, useless institutions, confining dogmas, and the narrow-mindedness of fellow humans.
Quino's focus on how grim life is betrays an inner conviction that it ought to be good, and a deep sympathy for life's mostly innocent victims — employees, children, housewives, pensioners, obscure artists, unrecognized heroes — in spite of their very human failings and limitations.
Quino's world view is easy to explain in light of Argentina's vicissitudes over the last forty years; and his mixture of pessimism and humanism is one of the reasons for his immense popularity in Latin America.
