Tight Chest When Cold

BIRTHDAY AND FAREWELL FOR MY MOTHER, BOHEMIAN FOREVER SARAMAGO


When we do not yet recuperated from death José Saramago ( those who admired ) and at 15:00 hrs. we went from just learning that the same course Carlos Monsivais.




Although since April and was recovering in the hospital, his death was a surprising news, mainly because, at least for me, Monsivais was one of those people who think they can die (physically speaking ) . The last time I saw him (the month of December in Guadalajara ) looked happy, accessible and relatively safe.




Stay up to date, cutting edge, with a commentary acid sarcastic, funny (like the time he said his joy at being in León, Guanajuato. "bastion of Mexican leftism" or that "the whole country supported Pinochet ... least in León, of course ") and its peculiar style of narration, to describe ( read "Days to keep" and "Lost Love", some excellent works ), Carlos Monsivais was also the stereotype of the intellectual ( disheveled, messy and somewhat convoluted language ) successfully defended left his position and did not care to antagonize this to be true to its principles.




That was Carlos Monsivais, who is now gone physically, but he leaves a huge legacy of literature and an important collection of art and popular culture in Estanquillo Museum.



Lay your
in Peace, Carlos Monsivais
Here some notes on his death (in indicates that possible causes of pulmonary fibrosis were the dozens of cats )
In this, a little self-promotion and political opportunism, something totally lacking in this country (as comment Monsivais)
Another note that encompasses all ( the causes of his death, the Mexican political opportunism and a small tribute) with a touch of humor characteristic of Magoo.

Brent Everett = Brent Corrigan



From insurance salesman to Nobel Prize for Literature; Repairer watch a champion of social causes. So was Jose Saramago, a controversial author ( even Ernesto Zedillo of Mexico tried to deport ) and versatile.

As a tribute to his sudden and untimely death presented in this blog I made a small contribution to El Heraldo de Leon on March 7, 2004.


Rest in peace, one of the leading representatives of Portuguese literature.

Tight Jaw Swollen Gum



As I promised.


This is the drawing by which Gabriel Vargas was recorded at fifteen years old. ( Everything a child prodigy right?)


turns out that since he was thirteen years and worked for several newspapers, including Excelsior and Novedades.


This latest Gabriel Vargas asked to do a comic and he did "Life of Christ"


One day she came running to Excelsior to make their collaboration when a Texas man with gun and stops him and asks him if he made the story about Christ. Vargas said and is carried pushing a jeep and taken to Police Station.


Chief ( a guy carrying a huge cigar and smugly ) said he was in serious trouble for drawing religious propaganda because that was punishable by law.


As they did not believe that at his age could draw like ( believed that someone concealed ) it went into an adjoining room for questioning.


After long hours of anguish the owner of the newspaper Novedades ( Ignacio Herrerías ) came to get him out.


Gabriel Vargas stated that the only satisfaction that he got in that cartoon were the warmest congratulations of everyone (including newspaper's owner). But they had to suspend it threatened to close the newspaper.


would have been interesting to know his work "The day of traffic" to undertake the 11 years of age ( and time was at the Museum Estanquillo ), but as soon as has the rise.

What Is The Best Pocket Sized Camcorder?

GABRIEL VARGAS FUNERAL IN THE ALLEY'S GONE

Perhaps my blog either less blog and more obituary but what they want, have been going lately I greatly admire characters .

Today it was the turn of the great caricaturist Gabriel Vargas.

I'm sorry not to have had the opportunity to meet in person ( was always one of my goals ) but due to his advanced age (over 90 YR I) was very difficult to go out to public events (the last I remember was in 2007 in The Estanquillo ). But I know through his work early editions and collections of the Family Burron, original drawings at the Museum of Estanquillo and maximum pattern "On Traffic" did for 11 years and which impressed the Secretary Education of your time. Cartoonist

early ( at age 11 had won a scholarship to etudier in Pa ris), imprisoned for 13 years by drawing "Life of Christ" ( morning I put the comic ), creator of the cartoon more emblematic of Mexico ( why it is considered one of the world's leading sociologists ) Gabriel Vargas leaves us with 95 years of age but let thousands and thousands of pictures to laugh and reflect.

Vargas was the writer Gabriel graph of a Mexico that has disappeared.
