Gus for Gus' Sake

Tuesday Comic Strip Day.

I have already shown some of Gus Arriola's gorgeous Gordo Sundays, along with some of the equally impressive dailies from 1951. Here is another batch of both.

    Serendipitously the creators of the Baldo comic strip also honored Gus today.

    Thank you for posting these, I didn't know this artist. The ones in colour are fabulous. Sort of a mix between Walt Kelly and Hank Ketcham.

    Denis,

    As far as I now, Arriola was indeed trained at Disney around the same time as Kelly and Ketcham (and Partch and Shaw and Moores, etc..)
