UFO FILES RELEASED 🛸

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Floyd Gottfredson (May 5, 1905-July 22, 1986), most known for his work on the Mickey Mouse newspaper strip from 1930 to 1975. One of the greatest.

Gordo celebrating Cinco De Mayo in 1983:

Happy Cinco de Mayo! As you might imagine, Arriola frequently acknowledged the event, the mock battles with which the occasion is celebrated, and the common misconception in the USA that May 5th is "Mexican Independence Day." That's a lot of work for any comic strip!
