Appearance
Núria Vilaplana i Buixons (1931 – 25 December 2016), better known as Núria Pompeia, was a Catalan Spanish cartoonist, graphic humorist,[1] journalist in the Catalan and Castilian languages, and a Catalan writer in Catalan.
Born and raised in Dreta de l'Eixample neighborhood, she studied art at the Escola Massana in Barcelona. She published her first cartoons in Oriflama in 1969.[2] Her drawings often denoted social class, the bourgeoisie, or criticism of sexism. In more laid-back humor magazines, she also depicted censorship in a comic manner. Pompeia published novels and short stories, and worked in journalism. She died in Barcelona on 25 December 2016, aged 85.[3]
