Biography

During the 2000s, Ponsí started out by winning different awards such as the 2nd prize in the CCOO Comic Contest, the 1st prize in the Ciutat de Girona Comic Contest along with José María Izquierdo. He also worked in the magazine Cáñamo, with the series Lucas Flaiworker, alongside José M. Izquierdo, Gómez, and Quim Bou, or participated monthly with a humorous illustration in the magazine Zero.

He has published in all kinds of magazines, both Spanish (Cáñamo, Zero, Amaníaco, etc.) and Latin American (AGMagazine, El Chamuco, Freddie, etc.) and in the Spanish version of the American website ManhuntDaily. He has also created political cartoons for Minoría Absoluta.

As a comedian, he created the satirical musical group Gabriel and has performed stand-up comedy in Buenos Aires, Barcelona, and Madrid. He also wrote the sitcom El Ronyó de la Ciutat, a 16-episode radio drama broadcast in various Catalan towns, and together with Albert Puigpinós and Irene Minovas under El Ronyó Produccions, he made the series Sona Sopar, an audio series broadcast on the 3xl.net program of K3 on Televisión de Cataluña. He has also created a biographical webcomic titled 50 Sombras de Ponsí. In 2016, he premiered the sketch show Epic Fail on Metro FM with the comedian Carles Artés.

In the field of animation, his works include the music videos UN DEUX TROIS and Mon Petit Oiseau, a song presented at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest by ElectronikBoy, the back cover of Amandititita, for Sony BMG Mexico, and the cover and booklet of the 2nd CD of Mugroman.

He became known for his collaboration in the humor magazine El Jueves, where he published the series Sauna Paradise starting in 2007. Also, beginning in 2008, he has published the series Juancho Lamento, dibujante sin talento in the magazine Amaníaco, and, the following year, Maricas desatadas in AGMagazine.

In February 2016, he published his first comic ¡Socorro!¡¡Mi madre tiene Facebook!! with Graffito Editorial and illustrated the children's book about a homoparental family Martín y la tarta de chocolate by Julián Guerra for the publishing house Samarcanda.

In 2020, he published Sexo Mal, which is about failures within sexual relationships. The book was supported by a manifesto against homophobia signed by the main specialized comic media and popularizers in Spain, following a complaint by the author who shared on his social networks a conversation with a website that refused to review the publication.

In 2022, he published Amado líder, a print compilation of a web series starring the leader of Middle Korea, a caricature of Kim Jong-un. That same year, after writing a couple of satirical articles about religion and the Catholic Church, he received a series of messages with death threats on social media from users linked to the far-right in Spain, which led him to cancel a book signing during Sant Jordi's Day in Barcelona.
