Brazilian cartoonist Glauco & son murdered by robbers

Goodbye, Glauco
by Anna von Rebeur
We regret to report that the Brazilian cartoonist "Glauco" (Glauco Villas Boas) 53, was killed this morning along with one of his two children (Raoni, 25), in an assault on the door of his home in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He had been assaulted several times and was negotiating with the criminals at the door when his son arrived and the assailants shot them.
Born in Jandaia do Sul, Paraná interior, Glauco began publishing his cartoons in the "Diário da Manhã, Ribeirão Preto, in the early '70s. He was awarded in 1977 and 1978 in the 4th and 5th International Exhibition of Piracicaba Humor. In 1977, he began publishing his work in the Folha de Sao Paulo sporadically and only since 1985, Glauco regularly published his strip.
Among his characters are Geraldão, Cacique Jaraguá, Nojinsk, Dona Marta, Zé do Apocalipse, Doy Jorge, Ficadinha, Netão y Edmar Bregman, among others.
In 2006, he launched the book "Política Zero", bringing together 64 drawings of political humor on the Lula government published on page 2 of Folha.
His friend the cartoonist Angeli says that the swiftness of his drawings printed in the toughest times of the dictatorship made Glauco the "Rita Lee of humor."
Glauco was a gifted humorist and very personal and also an excellent person, who will be greatly missed and will be very missed by his friends.
His works can be viewed at: http://www2.uol.com.br/glauco/publicacoes.shtml
This is the last cartoon that was published alongside the tribute Glauco undergoing the site Charge online:

42nd HUMORISTS AT MAROSTICA
The jury’s report – Theme VICES
On Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th February 2010 the “HUMORISTS AT MAROSTICA” Jury came together made up of:
Paolo Bertuzzo - President
Maria Teresa Costa
Maurizio Minoggio
Alessandro Pettenuzzo
Giovanni Sorcinelli
Alessandro Tich
Piero Zanotto
Organizing Committee made up of the Marostica Graphics Group
and with the extraordinary participation of Tinto Brass.
The Jury, having examined the works that have reached Marostica from 235 Authors of 42 countries, notes a generous participation which is also rich in enthusiasm, and at the same time perceives that it is conversely difficult to clearly define and remain faithful to the proposed theme – VICES. It has, however, recognized the value of a series of excellent works.
It therefore assigns the traditional awards regarding the cartoon and strip categories:
2010 INTERNATIONAL CHESSBOARD GRAN PRIX, CARTOON section to:
VALERIO KURTU (MOLDOVA)
“for the ironic synthesis of a captivating graphical work and of undoubtedly humoristic impact which deplores, amplifying the theme on vices, a bad habit both individual and collective”.
THE INTERNATIONAL HUMORISTS PRIZE AT MAROSTICA of the finalist works is awarded to the joint winners:
TOMASO MARCOLLA (ITALY)
ELENA OSPINA (COLUMBIA)
ANDREA PECCHIA (ITALY)
SERGEY SICHENKO (UKRAINE)
BERJASIT TUMYING (THAILAND)
For the STRIP section the jury awards the 2010 INTERNATIONAL CHESSBOARD GRAN PRIX to:
OCTAVIAN BOUR (ROMANIA)
“for the provocative representation of an upside down reality in which vices, instead of destroying, make a person’s identity”.
THE INTERNATIONAL HUMORISTS PRIZE AT MAROSTICA of the finalist works is awarded to the joint winners:
HUIG GERRIT (UNITED STATES)
SUSAN HOTTER (ITALY)
TONI VEDU (ITALY)
THE “SANDRO CARLESSO” SPECIAL PRIZE for experimentation or graphical-stylistic technique is awarded to:
CRISTINA BERNAZZANI (ITALY)
“for the proposal of a graphical pictorial technique based on the contrast of light and shade and on the gradual passage with swift strokes to minute expressive details, evoking the ambiguous relation between vice and virtue”.
THE “MARCO SARTORE” SPECIAL PRIZE available to the Jury is awarded to a historically known Author:
MARCO SPADARI (ITALY)
“for the consistent evolution of a personal and recognizable style, which through apparently simple elements, specifically solid colour geometric backgrounds and a selected colour palette, builds complex situations in a wise method”.
A SPECIAL PRIZE for this edition has been personally chosen by Tinto Brass and is awarded to: HUEY NGUYENHUU (UNITED STATES).
