A-Z of My Life as a Cartoonero
Topic
ANGELITOS: The groundwork for my graphic novel Angelitos (2018), done in collaboration with illustrator Santiago Cohen, the New Jerseybased Latinx cartoonist, began about five years before its publication. A common friend introduced us. I was an admirer of Cohen’s children’s books. I was eager to retell the story of how, when I was in my early twenties, I collaborated with Father Alejandro García Durán de Lara (1935-1999), aka Padre Chinchachoma, internationally known for his work with Mexico City’s homeless children.
