Oscar González Loyo (1959-2021) was a Mexican comic book artist mostly known for his comic Karmatrón y Los Transformables and one of the founders of ¡Ka-Boom! Estudio in 1994, along with his wife Susana Romero and his father (and famous Mexican comic book creator) Oscar González Guerrero.

From 1996 to 2000, he was the character designer, layout artist, storyboard artist, and animation director[1] for Plaza Sésamo, the Latin American co-production of Sesame Street, producing several animated segments (including Lapicito) and the animated opening sequence.

As a child he was influenced by the work of Mexican comic book artists that frequented his house like Héctor Macedo, as well as by Walt Disney, Osamu Tezuka, Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, and Robert McKimson.

At age 14, he became a professional artist for Las Aventuras de Capulina.

Over the years, he had worked on Las Aventuras de Cepillín, Las Aventuras de Parchís, Katy la Oruga, El Monje Loco, The Flintstones, The New Speed Racer, Tiny Toons, Looney Tunes, and The Simpsons comics.

In 2000, he became the first Mexican to win an Eisner Award at Comic-Con International for his work on Simpsons comics.
