Biography
Mauro (Malang) Santos, commonly known as just Malang, is a Filipino cartoonist and illustrator. He was born on January 20, 1928, in Santa Cruz, the Philippine Islands and, at the age of 19, dropped out of formal education in order to begin working in the art department of the Manila Chronicle. There, he apprenticed under Liborio "Gat" Gatbonton, eventually creating the popular comic strip Kosme, the Cop, Retired for which he best known. In 1955, Malang co-founded a gallery dedicated to cartooning known as Bughouse. He was named “Artist of the Year” in 1964 by the Society of Philippine Illustrators and Cartoonists, and in 1981, the City of Manila honored him with the Guide of Arts and Culture award. In later years, his previously illustrative work moved towards abstraction, but he remains best remembered for his vividly colored depictions of women in traditional dress carrying baskets of fruit and rice winnowers.
