Hernando Turriago “Chapete” fue un destacado caricaturista durante el periodo del Frente Nacional (1958-1974) en Colombia. En sus caricaturas tocó distintos tópicos de la vida pública. Sin embargo, su obra adquirió relevancia al constituirse la principal plataforma de defensa del régimen frentenacionalista. En efecto, desde finales de la dictadura del General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (1953-1957), Chapete emprendió la defensa de las libertades coartadas por el régimen y se dedicó a combatir las intenciones electorales del líder de la Alianza Nacional Popular (ANAPO). El objetivo de este artículo es analizar y describir el modo como Chapete, a través de sus caricaturas, combatió a Rojas Pinilla y a su partido durante las campañas electorales del Frente Nacional. Sin dejar de lado el material histórico contextual, este artículo utiliza como fuentes históricas las caricaturas publicadas en el diario El Tiempo. La caricatura es concebida como una estrategia de lucha política, más que como arte de la sátira; hecho que permite aventurar, a manera de hipótesis, la idea de que en manos de Chapete la caricatura fue un arma del oficialismo frentenacionalista, usada para contrarrestar la fuerza popular y electoral de uno de sus principales detractores, el General Rojas Pinilla.Electoral Debate during the National Front (1958-1974).
