Eduardo Abela (1889-1965) is a fantastic example of how censorship can be circumvented and without loosing intensity in satire and criticism of an illegitimately established power. Abela is better known in Cuba for his character “El Bobo” (The Fool) than for having been a renowned painter of extensive work, who worked on the Cuban theme and the search for a national identity through painting. But he is best known for his character “El Bobo”, who appeared in 1926 for the first time and lasted (with some interruptions) until May 1934, a year after dictator Machado’s fall, who was forced to abandon the country on August 12th, 1933 in the face of a very serious economic crisis, the intensity of the revolutionary attacks and the withdrawal of US support. Soon after, another would come with the name Batista and a worse memory. And then the revolution starts again. El Bobo's character comes from the colonial times, from 1895 when "El Bobo Weekly” was published in Havana, in which the articles are signed "El Bobo de Batabanó "," El Bobo de la yuca "," El Babieca'sfool ”. The popularity of these characters comes to the 1940s with the well-known guaracha (picaresque Cuban song) “El Bobo de la yuca”. (Adelaida de Juan, 1999).
