Mort & Phil () is a Spanish comic series, published in more than a dozen languages. It appeared for the first time in 1958 in the children's comic-book magazine "Pulgarcito" drawn by Francisco Ibáñez. The series features Mort (), the tall, bald master of disguise named after mortadella sausage, and his bossy partner, the shorter, pudgier Phil () Pi. Initially, they were private detectives operating as "Mortadelo y Filemón, Agencia de Información", but now both serve as secret agents in the T.I.A. (a spoof on CIA), the "Técnicos de Investigación Aeroterráquea" (Aeroterrestrial Investigation Technicians). "Tía" is the Spanish word for "aunt".
