Cartoonist

Juli Sanchis Aguado “HARCA” was born in Picassent-Valencia (Spain) in 1942. Growing up, Harca developed a love for drawing. At age 13, a teacher advised him to pursue his dream and enroll in the Academia de Bellas Artes in Valencia. He was only able to complete one year of studies, as his family needed his help to make ends meet. Even so, Harca maintained a devotion to his craft. A few years later, the director of “Raons”, a local magazine, asked Harca to sign on as a freelance contributor – giving birth to Harca’s humorous and satirical style.
