The comic characters of TBO in Maó

The Cultural Hall of "Sa Nostra" in Maó on Menorca will hold from November 22 to December 7 an anthological exhibition dedicated to the illustrator, Marino Benejam Ferrer.

Marino Benejam Ferrer (Ciutadella, 1890 - Barcelona, 1975) lived in Barcelona from his youth, collaborating for over fifty years with the humorous comic TBO. His drawings and jokes gave life to such well known characters as the Ulises Family -one of the most popular families in postwar Spain- Melitón Pérez, Eustaquio Morcillón and Babalí, amongst others.

The original drawings that are being presented in the exhibition make up part of the private collections of Lluís Giralt, Marcel·lí Mora and Francesc Regàs.

The exhibition has the support of the Council of Menorca and the Ciutadella Town Council.
