Biography

edit

Gosset was hired by publisher Editorial Bruguera in 1957 to draw jokes for Can Can [es] magazine and the strip "Les Presentamos a Berta, que siempre sueña despierta", written by Armando Matías Guiu [ca], for the magazine Selecciones de Humor de El DDT [es].

In the 1960s, he created for El DDT [es] his most successful series: "Hug, el Troglodita [ca] (1965) about a simple-minded caveman who is always unsuccessfully trying to catch dinosaurs to eat; "Facundo da la vuelta al mundo [ca]" (1966) about the comic misadventures of a salakot-wearing wannabe adventurer who travels around the world;[3] and "Domingón [es]" (1967) about an average man who keeps unsuccessfully trying to enjoy his Sundays.

In the 1970s, he created "Roquita", which was set in the same world as "Hug, el Troglodita", for the magazine Super Zipi y Zape [es] and "Carpeto Veto", about a reactionary short man dressed completely in black who despises all modern things.[4]

After the closure of Bruguera in 1986, he published "Burrus and Sapiens" for the magazine Garibolo [es].
