Joaquim Muntañola was a classical Spanish comics artist, born in Barcelona. He began his career in the mid-1930s in El Be Negre, L'Esquitx and El Patufet. He then went to the recently revived TBO magazine, after its disappearance during the Civil War and World War II, for which he drew several humorous pages. His work was featured in several magazines throughout the 1950s and 1960s, such as Atalaya, Ilustración Femenina, Locus, El Mundo Deportivo, etc. Several books with his work have appeared, such as twelve 'El Humor de Muntañola' compilations and 'La Vida en Dulce'. Among his characters are 'Angelina y Cristobalito', 'Doña Exagerancia', and 'Josechu el Vasco'.
