In honor of having picked up several new "Gordo" Sunday newspaper strips before the weekend, I'd like to spend the rest of the week sharing some of them with you. This one from Oct 10, 1976, involves Arriola's lovely rendering of a traditional Mexican dress en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_p...

The Golden Eagle of Mexico, the Bald Eagle of the United States. On more than one occasion, Gus would depict the birds meeting up for a patriotic celebration. And what more patriotic celebration was there than the 200th Centennial of the U.S.A., depicted here on Independence Day, 1976!

@calamityjon.bsky.social I keep forgetting this is you and everytime it pops up I’m like hey Jon look someone else likes your Gordo
