Gus Arriola was an ambassador of Hispanic culture for generations of kids reading comic strips. Gordo and Pepito and Haley’s Comet and Possy Gato and the Poet were all welcome at our home, Special guests that taught as well as entertained so that by the time I was a teenager I knew Gus’s newspaper culture as well as I knew our own neighborhood. Of course it was all Gus with his kind heart and his keen sense of humor and his experience in animated films that led to the type of design genius that Gordo was famous for… this is a very special Sunday, Gus would do one a year featuring the tequila worms and their night out on New Year’s Eve… I think he had the most fun with these because he could get a little off-color in the strip without the syndicate getting too upset… Simply because it was the holiday. The three tiered strip is in excellent shape, it’s been framed and holds a place of honor in our studio for years… But now it’s time to find a new home.It’s a wonderful artifact of Gordo’s long history in the newspapers and would make an excellent addition to anyone’s bar, library, collectors room or theater, a piece of Ariola holiday humor, impossible to find these days almost 50 years after its publication. This would make an excellent and unexpected gift to anyone with a Gordo collection or someone looking for a piece to display in an upscale bar....perfect for the collector. This is an important and historic addition to any collection, a prime example of an artist influencing the path of popular culture...Included with the strip is a generous selection of Gus is working copies of Gordo during his book publishing.… We are including 20 of these with the order.

With every order we send out extra free items, buttons, pens, comic books, posters, trading cards, postcards and items from the era as a thank you to our fellow collectors. We also double tube our shipments to avoid any damage by the post office.
