Here's all the information I've got I hope this helps:
Aitor Eraña Vitoria (Vitoria,1985)
Sus historias son muy leídas en Internet. Pueden visitarse en su blog http://bloj.net/aitor o en su galería en Deviantart (http://terminaitor.deviantart.com). Aitor dibuja desde que tiene uso de razón. Sus influencias son muy variadas: series de televisión como Dragones y Mazmorras, Érase una vez el Cuerpo Humano... más adelante empezó a leer comics, devoraba Mortadelos tan pronto como aprendió a leer, y fue poco después cuando empezó a dibujar cómics. El señor Ibañez le enseñó a tener ese *humor puñetero* que intenta dar a sus tiras y cómics.

and if you also give the name of the illustrator we could check out his work on Google images

In full agreement with LFQ and Bea....
Beatriz Ramírez de Haro Jan 17, 2009:
coincido totalmente con LFQ
LFQ Jan 17, 2009:
When you talk about "el señor Ibáñez", are you referring to Francisco Ibáñez, creator of Mortadelo y Filemón? The concept of "puñetero" can be read in many ways, and if the text refers to Francisco Ibáñez then black homour, for one, is not what you mean here.

"irreverent" is also an option!
Peer comment(s):

agree MikeGarcia : Pulp humour on!! This is by far, the best option for "puñetero" applied to Francisco Ibáñez, in that context.....I find (since my early youth) Mortadelo and Filemón SO hilarious!!
