In Friday morning, March 4, opening my email I found myself with a mail I never wanted to receive, but circumstances have arisen recently that may well be made:
Dear Friends
Today , March 4, 2011, at dawn has broken Old Ferrito to other worlds, together with his characters: Shrimp, splash, Racer, Taras Service, Pandora, and
many others that missed the significance of the appointment.
On the drawing board was the jib and open potecito China ink dries in time.
I ask in their hearts a memory of homage.
His remains will be veiled in the town of Don Bosco, Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the livery stable Pastor Rufino, José Ingenieros and Uriburu streets. Grateful
, daughter Pichi Ferro.
recently planned to upgrade my Encyclopedic Dictionary of humor and written in Argentina, in preparation, the path of Ferro, but not this way. In January 2007 I gave your ad on top, to the direction of "Democracy", a newspaper circulating in suburban Buenos Aires, the title:
GOOD OF 2006: Award EDUARDO FERRO
In this issue of the paper I was pleased to be able to refer Award Quevedos Latin American Graphic Humor, which in its fifth edition, Ferro had been creditor, the candidate for the Cartoon Museum Severo Vaccaro, and with the support of hundreds of artists and design-related entities. They call for this award the Ministries of Culture, Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain and is promoted by the General Foundation of the University of Alcalá.
said then that "it is always nice to have to deal with Ferro", today it is not, but it is instead an unavoidable act of recognition by all that has been represented, and will remain for the continued relevance of drawings and humor suitable for all ages and all age groups, the immortal, we could say the mood to be putting human, Eduardo Ferro.
When asked in 1954 a note for the magazine "Illustrators" said Abel Santa Cruz:
-Talk others, trained, unmoved firmness of the nib of Ferro, the point of their watery or nuance of his watercolors. I speak fondly of a friend who draws well. And that renders his strip, the sarcasm that is not yours, not the satire of the unbelievers in the world and deform it through their lens injured, but the tremendous, the obvious, the naive joy of being born ...
Ferro The same trust in October 1974 the magazine "Humorón"
I do not want to do characters that ridicule anyone ... It is thought that such a sense of humor does not apply, I, however, I am a current comedian alive ... At least that ... I think the satire is not humor ... It says it is committed humor I do not know if it's important to say, but I think the humor "candid" is much more difficult to achieve ... When choosing topics stinging, almost everything is served ... Also, the humor humor-and simply-also has an important social role to play ...
The assertion of the artist can be seen in any of the periods covered by his long career, for example, the cover of "Patoruzú"-magazine which he joined in 1938 - in which a construction worker sitting on the side of the work under construction, weapon with some bricks turned away, holding a small wall on his legs, while a companion warns: "Caution! You're going to arm trouble if he pulls the foreman doing work out! "
same applies reviewing his many characters: Rocket, Sawdust and breadcrumbs and Don whistle in "The Court"-magazine that began when he was shorts, "Pepe ticket in" Pilucho "Ñangapirí Tereré in" El Pampero "Diver splash in" The Reason "Professor italics in" Estudiantina "Cara de Angel, who signed with the pseudonym Yayo-Racer, easy snacks, Rebel with a cause, there is a pipe in your future, Lisa, Tara Service and Pandora, in" Patoruzú "Shrimp, navigator independent," Patoruzito "slap, flower archer in" The New Court "Cacho Pan, in" Louie kids "alevine in "Extra Louie" Yirólamo correspondent on "Super Hum ®" ...
"... In the mood of Ferro-warm, human, true, high fidelity are reflected in all of us wrote in" Richard Roe "- Ferro draw in-law, teachers, employees, hobos, handsome, combinationes, tale tellers, postmen, dogs, dreamers, bus drivers, train guards, hypnotists, gauchos, teenagers, old people. We, in short.
"We all go, every day, things like that tumble over the cartoons of Ferro. But he knows where the back fair, the exact wording, the unexpected trip to enlighten us all that smallness face with a smile so big ... "
Carlos Eduardo Ferro-that besides the aforementioned Yayo, has used the pseudonyms Dué-dof and was born in Avellaneda on August 19, 1917.
In 1930 participated in a weekly contest drawing and coloring other drawings, who organized the magazine "Faces and Masks." The first published drawings rewarded with a book Araluce Collection (Classics adapted for children), and the second with a voucher worth 5 weights for shopping at San Juan de Piedras Street. Ferro won many times, so I judged that the picture you paid off early (words of it).
Then, in "The Purrete" continued a section that had left the artist Philip Martelli, and from Ferro's performance began to be called "News reporting", where kids from around the country correspondents were .
is in the magazine "La Cancha" where Ferro begins to emerge as a great cartoonist, initially made in conjunction with a section Sunday Villafañe Sports curio entitled "In short," he continued only with the new title of "Believe it." They also began doing cartoons, although over the years recognize that it was not his strong-when he was only 15 years old, one of his early cartoons of the River Plate player Aaron Werfingkel.
Upon entering Dante Quinterno Union, where he was one of the main animators of the film artists' Upa in trouble, "Ferro start an activity that would lead to the end of 1974 reflect a commentator mentioned" Richard Roe " this artist is something like Lope de Vega of the Argentine artists "and that" in a statistical home-made in our editorial that we "Until now, man has created fifty thousand jokes, always optimal."
addition the characters mentioned above were published in "Patoruzú"-which also had him as director between 1961 and 1962 - Ferro shared for years with Oscar Blotta, caps and center pages of the magazine, plus some "locals Topics" and should continue the "enemies of man" to retire Divito to edit his own magazine.
Ferro also has among the best comics who have caricatured our gaucho and his environment, but it is a privilege that seems to be reserved for readers of Patoruzú Golden Book "through the" Pampa barbaric. "
Quinterno In the magazine, his pen "put a physical stamp (in the words of Santa Cruz) to the Correspondent Traveler, a Martian in Buenos Aires, Don Rosa, Jovito editorial Barrera and other characters, creating for your Quaker, a cartoon drawing semihumorístico adventures: Adventure and Quakito Quakita. It was also the continuation of The Phantom Benito sports, has been ongoing since 1938.
Ferro continued, "Patoruzú" until his disappearance on April 30, 1977 and August 1978, took over the magazine Rico Tipo "in his second season, for which he created and Manocha comic script Scraped and Mimo Gómez.
not forget that Ferro was one of the first artists who had already been "drawings in the air" before the advent of TV (depicted humorous scenes from the microphones of Radio Belgrano stimulating the imagination of listeners).
also helped its inception in "Pololo" "The Diary" and "Illustrated Republic."
