(Association of Independent Comic Creators - AHI), as a result of irreconcilable differences between constituents. One group within AHI, including the president and vice-president of the organization, began to feel that AHI's openness to all creators compromised their artistic goals. This group split from the organization in 1999 and formed their own group. In addition to a common logo, each comic produced by La Productora has the same mini-comic format.

Gran Buenos Aires
Greater Buenos Aires ( es, Gran Buenos Aires, GBA), also known as the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area ( es, Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, AMBA), refers to the urban agglomeration comprising the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the adjacent 24 '' partidos'' (districts) in the Province of Buenos Aires. Thus, it does not constitute a single administrative unit. The conurbation spreads south, west and north of Buenos Aires city. To the east, the River Plate serves as a natural boundary.

Asociación De Historietistas Independientes
Argentine comics creators formed the Asociación de Historietistas Independientes (Spanish language, Spanish for Association of Independent Comic Creators) at Buenos Aires convention Fantabaires in 1996, to collectively address the challenges of independent publishing. Soon, more than 100 magazines throughout Argentina sported the AHI logo. AHI's first major accomplishment was ''Historieta Bajo Tierra'' (Underground Comics), a convention that brought together the entire Argentine indie comics community. Building on the success of this event, AHI bought a stand at Fantabaires in 1998 to nurture the previously nonexistent indie comics market. Other accomplishments included putting a common logo on the covers of member comics and organizing events to display and disseminate good new works.

These cartoons, originally single panels, quickly evolved to multiple panel constructions with sequential action. Many used methods such as text indicating dialogue emanating from the speaker's mouth, or text below the drawings for dialogue and explanati ...
