We’re saddened by the recent death of popular and talented Argentine cartoonist Guillermo Mordillo at age 86 in Mallorca, Spain, where he owned a home. He is best remembered for his widely published cartoonists of the 1970s and his colorful, wordless depictions of love, sports and long-necked animals.

From 1976 to 1981, Mordillo’s cartoons were used by Slovenian artist Miki Muster to create “Mordillo”, a series of 400 shorts (300 min) that aired on TV stations in 30 countries. In 1980 he moved to Mallorca, Spain, and was named President of the International Association of Authors of Comics and Cartoons (CFIA).
