Chiquilladas #110
In "El forastero," a lone traveler known only as "Rayo" becomes an unwitting symbol of disruption when his running stirs up dust during a brutal drought, prompting the townspeople to demand he leave. His sudden departure creates a dangerous opening, as two outlaws exploit the chaos to trap the villagers and ransack their home. With art by Pete Alvarado—both inks and pencils—this 1961 tale from Editorial Novaro blends rural tension and sudden betrayal, all rendered in the distinctive style of its creator.
In "El forastero," Silvestre, a lone mouse cast ashore in the sleepy, cat-filled Ciudad Siesta, finds himself in a town where the feline inhabitants are more interested in napping than hunting. As he tries to survive by catching the local mice, his efforts are repeatedly thwarted by the sly and smug Rayo, who seems to take particular delight in his misfortune.
In "La playa," the boastful Rayo finds himself in a splashy scrape when a shark threatens him on the shore, only to be saved by the calm and clever Tomas. Later, Rayo gets his chance to repay the favor when he helps protect a turtle family’s eggs from an unexpected high tide.
In the dusty heart of a drought-stricken village, the speedy rabbit "Rayo" finds himself at odds with the townsfolk when his rapid dashes kick up too much dust. Forced to leave, he unwittingly creates the perfect opening for two crooked bandits who seize the chance to lock up the villagers and steal their treasures.
In "Pimienta fina," Rayo sets off on a quirky mission to the city to fetch rare pepper for a special meal the mayor is preparing for a wealthy guest—no easy task when even the smallest spice can lead to big trouble. With a dash of humor and a splash of absurdity, this 1961 tale from Chiquilladas #110 delivers a delightfully zany adventure in a world where animals run the show.
