| Abstract (English): |
Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia among the elderly. Its devastating effects are not limited exclusively to the sick, but also affect their relatives and caregivers. Due to their high degree of dependence, during the final stages of the disease many of these patients may need to be institutionalized. Arrugas (2011) by Ignacio Ferreras, inspired by the hit comic of the same name (2007) by the cartoonist Paco Roca (2008), shows us the vicissitudes that his protagonist, Emilio, has to go through when his family decides to enter him in a nursing home, and the links he establishes with other inmates, especially the shameless and nihilist Miguel.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
La enfermedad de Alzheimer constituye la demencia más común entre las personas mayores. Sus devastadores efectos no se limitan exclusivamente a los enfermos, sino que afectan también a sus familiares y cuidadores. Debido a su elevado grado de dependencia, durante las etapas finales de la enfermedad muchos de estos pacientes pueden necesitar ser institucionalizados. Arrugas (2011) de Ignacio Ferreras, inspirada en el exitoso cómic homónimo (2007) del historietista Paco Roca, nos muestra las vicisitudes que su protagonista, Emilio, ha de atravesar cuando su familia decide ingresarlo en una residencia de ancianos y los vínculos que establece con otros internos, especialmente el desvergonzado y nihilista Miguel.
