All through the 19th century and one third of the 20th th, the Valencian region became one of the most important areas in the country where we could find a great presence of satirical press. A great deal of that press was written in a colloquial Catalonian full of sentence structures which used Valencian idioms or distorted grammatical structures which came from the Spanish language. In the Second Republic times, a humorous Valencian magazine, called La Traca, was on top of the sales of the all humorous press all over Spain, and even thought it had a Valencian version, La Chala, which also had a very good acceptance among the local readers. Although this humorous tradition, which diminished significantly in the media because of General Franco�s Dictatorship, seems to have disappeared currently in the mass media, people still talk about the existence of a typical Valencian humour both in the popular surroundings as well as in the academic field.
