The Argentine writer Roberto Arlt began to work as a chronicler for the newspaper El Mundo from the moment of its appearance, in May 1928. In August of the same year his column devoted mostly to the representation of the modernization of the city began to carry the title that would grant recognition in the journalistic environment of the time: “Agua Fuertes porteñas”. But also, for almost eight years, these chronicles were printed on the newspaper page along with illustrations made by one of the cartoonists of El Mundo, Luis Bello. In front of the emptiness of references on the incidence that these drawings had in the configuration of the column, the objective of this work is to analyze how these illustrations were also part of the “Agua Fuertes porteñas”. Forthis, at first, will be examined the characteristics of Bello’s drawings and their links with the cartoon genre, in the second part of the work, to investigate how the intermediate cross between text and image influenced the composition of the chronicles of Arlt.
