Este artículo trata la caricatura política; en particular, el significado ideológico construido mediante dos procedimientos empleados en la sátira política de combate contra el liberal Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno, a saber: la comparación fisiognómica (con figuras míticas y animales) y la fealdad cómica (Bergson) como rigidez mental, moral e intelectual. Se centra en las caricaturas del artista gráfico Enrique Hine Saborío, editor del periódico humorístico El Cometa.This article addresses political cartoons, and focuses on the ideological meaning constructed using two procedures found in political protest satire against the Costa Rican liberal Ricardo Jiménez-Oreamuno.
