Gordo

Gordo is a long-running comic strip created by Gus Arriola, published by Doubleday from 1950 to the present, though it originally ran as a single issue. Known for its warm, humorous look at Mexican-American culture, the strip follows the adventures of the titular character, a lovable, mustachioed bean farmer. Arriola's distinctive art and gentle storytelling made Gordo a beloved fixture in newspapers, celebrated for its authentic portrayal of rural life and its subtle, progressive social commentary.
