Julieta Colombo, niece of Joaquín Lavado, Quino, died this week at the age of 53. Colombo became the main reference of the work of his uncle, with whom he had worked for more than 30 years.

A year ago he had signed an agreement with the government of the province of Mendoza to digitize the complete work of the cartoonist. "It is a very great sadness, not only because we were very close friends but because we loved her very much in the family," added Diego Lavado.
