I am writing about the comic strip 'La Cucaracha' by Chicano artist Lalo Alcaraz. Why was this strip cancelled? Was it cancelled out of the blue? It seems odd that you would just switch it up like that out of nowhere and replace it with a strip about...Penguins? Were there complaints or was the decision politically motivated?
I would think that dailies such as the Chronicle, with a large population of Latino readers, would welcome La Cuca with open arms, and celebrate Chicano artists like Mr. Alcaraz who are few in number, especially in the comic strip field. I would also think that the marketing potential would be substantial because not just any paper carries a strip like La Cuca.
But maybe I'm wrong. Does the Chronicle plan on staying progressive with its views as well as its comics or are we going to be subjected to reruns of Beetle Bailey from here on out? Please bring La Cucaracha back.
Sincerely,
J.R. (Name all disguised n stuff by me cuz I didn't ask permission yet)
