Groselho

He is famous around the world for having created Roman Odysseys, the comic book series that is considered the most famous South American comics in the world. Before becoming a cartoonist, Groselho was a history teacher, he loved history and this admiration greatly influenced him when he created his magnum opus.

Born into an upper-middle-class family in Bragança Paulista, São Paulo, Groselho already showed signs of interest in drawings in his childhood, even winning a competition for best child cartoonist at his school, but this was against his father's will, a private school teacher who did not accept that his son did not follow the same profession as him, a Mathematics teacher, however, even if the son had decided to drop cartoons and dedicate himself to becoming a teacher, it was certain that he would not be a mathematics teacher, since he was very average in that subject, but he showed a lot of development when in history lessons. When he was 19, he studied pedagogy, after graduating in pedagogy, he also graduated in history, having then trained as a teacher in history.
