In 'Serán ceniza, mas tendrá sentido' (They will be ash, but it will make sense), Antonio Mingote gathers 160 obituaries published in the ABC newspaper, dedicated to dear friends. With texts by Ignacio Ruiz Quintano, the book incorporates universal graphic humor as a way to face death. Through obituary jokes represented in empty scenarios, sobbing masks, and symbols like a broken pencil, Mingote offers a reflection on loss and remembrance. The title of the book evokes Quevedo's verse 'Constant love beyond death,' highlighting the enduring nature of affection.
Ángel Antonio Mingote Barrachina, 1st Marquess of Daroca, also simply known as Mingote, was a Spanish cartoonist, writer and journalist. He drew a daily cartoon in ABC since 1953 until his death in 2012.
