The writer Marcos Behmaras was undoubtedly a heartless craftsman in the use of satire. Although he moved through various genres and media, in the humor was his workhorse. His work in the weekly clandestine Mella or in publications such as El Sable, a sesentero supplement of the newspaper Juventud Rebelde, is very noteworthy. As we will see in this excerpt from his book Salaciones del Reader’s Indigest and other stories, his keen political humor, his sharp satires, remain astonishing in our day, resources these, especially in times of memes and free digital comments, which return to the hands of the majorities as a useful weapon of defense and criticism, which would well come to return to their former fueros and spaces in our mass media.
