    (in Spanish, with a video)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Mu%C3%B1oz_Mart%C3%ADn
    (in English)

    Excerpt:

    "His most famous books were Fray Perico y su borrico (with 71 editions) and El pirata Garrapata (with 64 editions). By the time of his passing, they still ranked as the top-selling titles of El Barco de Vapor collection. His swan song is El pirata
    Garrapata en Marte, presented in 2021. He was bestowed with the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts in 2021."

    (more about his life - this is a rough translation, as you'll see - where does the word "tick" come from?)

    Excerpts:

    "Fray Perico and his donkey upset the calm lives of the 20 monks at the monastery near Salamanca, Spain."

    "Pepe's search for an answer to a crossword puzzle takes him to an antique shop where he encounters the magic suit of armor of a long-dead samurai."

    "The exaggerated adventures of the captain of a pirate ship and his three friends."

    "Garrapata the pirate and his crew are hired to fly to the Moon and bring back valuable minerals, but when they get there, they find the place is already inhabited by two different species who are each other's enemies."
