One of the pillars of graphic humor in our country, Jordi Amorós (Barcelona, 1945), known by the pseudonym Ja, master of satire and pioneer filmmaker, has died at the age of 82. He was one of the great names of the mythical El Papus, with which he faced about eighty lawsuits and even a court-martial, and remained active in magazines such as El Jueves and Mongolia. Publicist, screenwriter, animator, and producer, he directed the State's first animated film for adults, Historias de amor y masacre; the animated series Mofli, el último koala, and the film Despertaferro!It was in the first satirical magazines, such as Mata Ratos, Pacha, Barrabás, El Cuervo and especially El Papus, in which he collaborated in all issues, where he already displayed his irreverent, biting, and anti-system humor, which was fodder for complaints and censorship. Some of his most subversive series and characters were born in this magazine, such as Sor Angustias de la Cruz, an anticlerical nun, and Encuesta Papus. "I became a regular at the courts. A judge would come out who basically dedicated himself to insulting me and threatening me with sanctions, and then, when the reprimand was over, the same judge would ask me for a drawing for his children," he explained to ARA. The attack on Carrero Blanco caught him at the courthouse. In 1975, his book  Humor sexual sano was also censored and withdrawn from the market. In 1977, he was arriving at the editorial office of El Papus, on Tallers street, when the bomb exploded by a right-wing faction against the weekly, killing the building's doorman and injuring seventeen people.
