Protest resurrects Latino-themed comic – “La Cucaracha”
Tagged: Chicano, newspaper, protestPosted on: March 8th, 2007“There was joy in “Roachville” on Wednesday as the edgy, Latino-themed comic strip “La Cucaracha” returned to the Los Angeles Times after a swift, Internet-driven protest.
The newspaper had dropped the comic strip Monday to make room for other features.
Lalo Alcaraz, the creator of “La Cucaracha,” said he was dumbfounded when he opened his hometown paper that day and saw no sign of the wisecracking, antennaed Chicano hipster named Cuco Rocha or any of his barrio friends.”
