City police in Barcelona force the artist Albert Tarragó to draw portraits like "the others"

Police forbid him display "funny" drawings at his workplace by threatening to withdraw his portraitist license.

Albert wonders why, if there is such a problem, the City Council has not allowed him change its specialty to cartoonist the last two times he has renewed his annual permit.

    The small group of cartoonists who have been denouncing him the last five years gets consolidate its monopoly upon Cheap and funny drawings, even when a majority of the group of artists has been asking repeatedly the Council that don't differ specialties such as portrait and caricature .

    City Hall's argument has always been than "do not change anything because soon they're going to reform everything"
