dbo:abstract
  • Gordo was a comic strip written and drawn by the American artist Gustavo "Gus" Arriola (1917–2008) that introduced many Americans to Mexican culture. The strip was praised by the Mexican Government and the California State Legislature for its promotion of international understanding. Charles Schulz described it as "probably the most beautifully drawn strip in the history of the business." The strip introduced America to such now-popular words and phrases as "hasta la vista," "amigo," "piñata," "compadre," "muchacho" and "hasta mañana," as well as Mayan, Aztec and Mexican customs, history and folklore. Periodically, Arriola also included traditional Mexican recipes in Gordo that proved popular. He told one interviewer, "In 1948 we ran Gordo's recipe for beans and cheese—which got me into 60 extra papers, by the way." Although not overtly political, Gordo was one of the first pop culture works that regularly raised environmentalist concerns. (en)
  • Gordo est un comic strip américain créé en 1941 par Gus Arriola et animé par celui-ci jusqu'en 1985. Son personnage principal éponyme est un immigré mexicain travaillant comme paysan. C'est le premier strip à large diffusion (jusqu'à 270 journaux) mettant en scène une minorité ethnique. Lors de l'arrêt du strip en 1985, c'était le plus long comic strip ayant été réalisé par un seul auteur, record battu en 1994 par Peanuts puis en 2000 par Beetle Bailey. (fr)
