Biography

Peruvian cartoonist famous for his iconic character "El Cuy" which he created in May 1977. El Cuy is a guinea pig, a kind of rodent. The comic strip was first published in November 1979 in the newspaper "La Calle" and then in "El Diario" in 1980. Unlike the more anodyne Disney menagerie, Juan Acevedo's animal characters have their genitalia fully exposed.

He was a professor of art history at the universities where he had studied (1971-1972), Curator at the Museum of Art and History of the UNMSM (1972-1973) and Director of the Regional School of Fine Arts of Ayacucho (1974-1975). In 1978, Acevedo published Para hacer historietas ("How to make comic strips"), a book republished and translated numerous times, and the first of its kind written in Spanish.
