Junco’s statement

Humor is indeed a daily instrument of real life, of the concrete world.
Its direct function is to relativize the abstract, the formal, the "mental exactitude".

Comicality is perhaps the most social of all the spiritual functions aimed at achieving pleasure. Therefore, it is elaborated under the condition that the others understand the proposed game because, if they do not, then it has no reason to exist.

Graphic humor fulfills a questioning role of apparent reality, which does not imply that its goal is not one of "truth." Instead, its role is —and it is not a minor one—a calling to order of a mess of forms in this poorly structured world.
