Antonio Ortiz Fuster, more commonly known as his pseudonym, Ortifus, is a political cartoonist, born in Valencia, Spain in 1948.

Widely considered to be one of the best cartoonists and illustrators to come out of the Valencia Community, he started his professional life as a musician, jewellery maker, and textile designer.

However, he is more widely known as a cartoonist and humourist, a career that he got into in the 1980s, when his cartoons began to be published in a number of regional newspapers, including Diario de Valencia, Noticias al Día, Hoja del Lunes and in magazines such as Qué y Donde and the national satirical magazine, El Jueves.

In 1984, he would find a permanent job as cartoonist for Levante - El Mercantil Valenciano; his cartoons would become, as time went by, one of the identifying features of the L-EMV.

His drawing style is characterised by simple, straight lines and his comic strips in general are typified by irony, word play, and a progressive stance on world issues.
