One of the most enjoyable ways to disseminate knowledge and scientific results is through comics. If this is accomplished without losing rigor, the contentment is complete.
Miriam Rivera Iglesias, an excellent scientific divulgator using this creative format (https://miriamriig.com; webpage in Spanish), generated this wonderful comic. Just after a couple of meetings and exchange of emails, she was able to capture in a few vignettes one of our ongoing research lines.
