Tuesday Comic Strip Day.
I have shown samples of Gus Arriola's Gordo before, but this time I have a huge load of color Sundays from a new stack of newspapers I recieved. I added the two I have shown earlier. A sruprisingly modern strip even early on, this one is a favorite of many artists even though very little from this period has been colleted.

I love the colours and the elegant design. And his animals have such great expressions! - many thanks.
GORDO is horribly overdue for a book collection. Even just a survey of the Sundays, in color, would be welcome! Gus Arriola was an inspired artist and a decent storyteller. He needs more respect and attention!
Thanks for posting this bouquet of lovely late '50s Sundays!
Wow, never heard of this comic, but it's amazing! Fantastic draftsmanship and great writing!
