Para mí, los realizadores de caricaturas son artistas muy completos, pues logran transmitir mensajes contundentes apoyándose en referentes cotidianos. Por tanto, el expectador de la caricatura debe ser una persona conocedora de mundos.

Exactly. My country, Indonesia, once had a strong tradition of caricature, I can say with great confidence that every prominent newspaper that was once in my hands had its own caricaturist with their own unique characteristics. This tradition is especially memorable during the repressive New Order regime.
In recent times, print media has become less and less popular, and I can no longer say when was the last time I held a newspaper or a magazine. But I can still see in the world of digital media that the caricature tradition is not weakening.
So, you're right, @solperez, enjoying caricatures is like seeing social reflections in another way. Caricature, besides being a work of art, can act as a critique of social circumstances.
Thanks.
Venezuela también ha contado con grandes caricaturistas, que como bien has dicho, convierten en "historiadores gráficos".
"graphic historians" ,, I love how it sounds.
I liked it too.
