The Spanish graphic humour face with the Scottish referendum of 18th September 2014: Is it drawing the independence of Catalonia?

This article analyzes the discourse that the main Spanish newspapers gave because of the referendum for the independence of Scotland (18 of September 2014), through the graphic humor. By means of textual analysis, the chief objective of the article is to examine the informative treatment that El Pais, El Mundo, ABC, La Razon, La Vanguardia and El Periodico did through their opinion vignettes. The research introduces a new field of thematic focus, opening areas of working on nationalism and media, as well as in methodology, because the research of graphic humor remains an unresolved matter in communication studies.
