“Recently, we dropped another controversial but popular (in some circles) comic strip, La Cucaracha, from our print edition and replaced it with Arctic Circle, a strip that features penguins as its main characters. Chronicle editors deemed La Cucaracha as being frequently inappropriate for a family newspaper.
Some Chronicle readers, including Latinos, disagreed with the decision. Encouraged by the strip’s creator, Lalo Alcaraz, along with the League of United Latin American Citizens, supporters started a campaign to get us to restore La Cucaracha to our comics’ lineup. After dropping the strip, the Los Angeles Times reinstated the strip.”
