abstract = "Having previously expressed a 'special kinship' with the Second Spanish Republic, President L{\'a}zaro C{\'a}rdenas opened Mexico's doors to refugees from the Peninsula, with some 6,000 making the trans-Atlantic journey between April and August 1939 (Schuler 1998: 56; Faber 2002: 171; Villarroya 2000: 42). Among this initial wave of {\'e}migr{\'e}s was the humourist Avel·l{\'i} Art{\'i}s-Gener (1912–2012), who, under the moniker T{\'i}sner, had earned particular notoriety for his cartoon and editorial work in the Catalan satirical press of the time. Undeterred by exilic displacement, T{\'i}sner soon became part of the nascent diasporic Catalan press and was one of very few foreign cartoonists to break into the Mexican satirical market (McGlade 2016: 52–54). Meanwhile, his fascination with the humorous manipulation of language — a trademark of his cartoons — provided the crossover to a lesser-known literary coming of age that developed over a twenty-six-year period of exile and continued well into the return to Barcelona.",
