Born in Mexico City on 24 June 1982, Juanele has been doing comics and cartoons since his childhood. He earned his Ph.D. in physics in 2012 from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Currently he's a physics professor at the Mexico City campus of Tecnologico de Monterrey, one of the largest university systems in Latin America. He's actively doing research in computational solid state physics and publishing papers in scientific journals. As a professional cartoonist with the pen name Juanele, he has published several comics including Chancho, Moquito y la Leyenda Colonial, Patote, Banquete Familiar, and (in English) Pet-posterous! He has also published comic strips in the following magazines: El Chamuco; MAD Mexico; ¡#$%&! Cómics (Monterrey); Karton (Poland); and ¡Caramba! (Spain). His work is greatly influenced by Carl Barks, Walt Kelly, Dik Browne, Hergé, and Sergio Aragonés, among others. His comics are a mix of adventure, humor and Mexican folklore. In his comics, he tries to develop his own style, while making intelligent, funny stories that are distinctively Mexican in origin but universal in their subject matter.
