- Note: Belmonte, the pseudonym of Benedito Carneiro Bastos Barreto (São Paulo, 1897 – São Paulo, 1947), was a Brazilian caricaturist, painter, illustrator, cartoonist, journalist and historian, who began his career in 1912. One of the great figures in caricature in São Paulo in the first half of the twentieth century, Belmonte is best remembered today as the creator of the most popular character in the São Paulo press at that time, Juca Pato. In 1936, Belmonte's political cartoons with Juca Pato started to appear in the newspaper Folha da Manhã, beginning a long series (lasting until 1946) about World War II (1939–1945).
