Ruz (ne: Carlos Alfredo Ruiz Moisa b. Salvador 1959) is a painter; sketcher andcaricaturist graduated from the Centro Nacional de Artes (CENAR) whose political caricatures were and are still published in the editorial pages of El Salvador's most importantnewspapers: from 1986 to 1996 in La Prensa Gráfica and since 1998 in El Diario deHoy. The present editorial project comprises 5 books (4 published before) that bring togetherhis most memorable humor and sarcastic creations. David Escobar Galindo comments "Ruzrescues broad scenarios of life in a narrative cartoon that causes hilarity and reflection. And as his characters speak, whether human or not, there is the popular picaresque soullaughing by itself, as it should be. Ruz being a man without dogmatic hates adoration will not use of the weapon to which the evil and the resentful prefer: hurtful sarcasm. In Ruzthere is irony, playfulness,teasing, mockery but without the poisons and stinginess of evil. Because there is imagination and joy in his recreation of life, not from philosophicalperspective, but as a schedule that sheds in the invisible passing of time"--P. [6].
