Abstract

During the Transition, a part of the emerging press, in this case the comic weeklies El Papus (1977) and El Jueves (1973-1987), used humor as an informative and innovative weapon to promote, with remarkable social repercussion, a sarcastic view of Spanish social and political drift. This paper pretends to analyze what was the concrete editorial position of both publications in front of the essential political events of the Transition during these years and the constituent legislation itself (June 1977December 1978). The text reviews the political position and analyzes how both magazines faced the emerging party system, in addition to consider whether they came to constitute the first manifestation of dissidence, of what is known as political "disenchantment", an early indication of discrediting the new political system which has occupied little attention in studies of that time.
