Biography

[edit]

Julio E. Suárez was one of the pioneers of comic strips in Uruguay.[citation needed] Born in Salto, Uruguay, he traveled to Montevideo to study architecture in 1927,[2] but he quickly abandoned his studies. In that time he began career with newspapers and his relationship with the short-lived[3] Uruguayan newspaper, El Nacional, where he published parliamentary notes.[1] He published his first drawings (Wing y Roncadera) in "El Plata", before he moved to the magazine "Mundo Uruguayo" in 1934 where he published two series of drawings, “Ríase o no” (laugh or not) and “Contra-refranes” (contradictions). He worked with Mundo until 1950.[3]

Along with his work as an illustrator, he wrote scripts starring his character "Peloduro" for the radio broadcast station CX 24 in Montevideo and became an illustration teacher in the school of applied arts.[3] He also created the character “Marieta Caramba” voiced by actress Jebele Sand on CX 30 Radio Nacional.[3]

Throughout his career he used various pseudonyms among them “pelo”, “Marcos Tuáin” “Pepe Repepe” and “El Mono”. However, his most widely used names were “JESS” and “peloduro”.

He died in 1965.[3]
