The news of his loss has been received by both his followers and the world of illustration with great regret.
Many of his colleagues, who considered him a teacher and a pioneer, have shown their sadness through social networks with illustrations in his honor.

Good trip teacher, good trip friend, we did not meet but you taught me a lot and your departure hurts, thanks to you I decided to be a cartoonist and I understood that what I draw must say something, have a purpose.
Today I cry for the loss of the best cartoonist the planet had.
Thanks Quino.
