About: Gordo (comic strip)   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/az_PM520SSzd9bkzlPcn0w==, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

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. Arriola also periodically included traditional Mexican recipes in Gordo that proved popular, telling 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 also one of the first Pop culture works that regularly raised environmentalist concerns.
