Lalo Alcaraz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences<\/a> recently welcomed editorial cartoonist, Chicano artist, and TV writer and producer Lalo Alcaraz<\/a> to speak about his politically themed and nationally syndicated comic strip \u201c \u200b\u200bLa Cucaracha<\/a>\u201d as a part of the Engaging the World: Leading the Conversation on Ethnic Studies series.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Alcaraz\u2019s \u201cLa Cucaracha\u201d strip, first published in LA Weekly<\/i> in 1992, has been featured in the \u00a0New York Times<\/i><\/a>, the L.A. Times, Hispanic Magazine, Latina Magazine, Mexico\u2019s La Jornada <\/i>and many other publications<\/a>. \u201cLa Cucaracha\u2019s\u201d comic strip characters reflect his view of Latino culture in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to Alcaraz, \u201csatire is another language\u201d that allows him to highlight not only his Chicano culture and childhood as a Mexican immigrant in San Diego, but also issues of politics, public health, and humanity.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz also provided attendees with clips of his animated, humorous cartoon, \u201cSuper Vaccine Vato,\u201d<\/a> which he deemed to be the new Lalo Alcaraz\/Pocho Villa Productions public health hero. According to Alcaraz, the seven short episodes covers issues ranging from vaccine hesitancy to Covid’s impact on mental health, public health messaging created specifically for the Latinx community.<\/p>\n

Luke Guerinot, attendee and first-year Communication major at Chapman, agreed that Alcaraz\u2019s comic strip serves as a form of activism toward issues of public health.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely see art as a form of activism because it offers a new way of looking at a certain topic, comedy is a large part of Alcatraz cartoons and it\u2019s strategically combined with messages that need to be heard,\u201d Guerinot said. \u201cI thought his characters were very comical but also provided helpful information about Covid relief or other matters.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Associate Dean of Wilkinson College and Chapman Anthropology professor Stephanie Tagaragawa<\/a> spoke about the elements of perspective and comedy in Alcaraz\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI attended the event because I am quite a fan of Alcaraz\u2019s work. I have seen his strip for many years and I think it’s super funny, and insightful, sometimes the satire is a little rough, but it allows us to look at the world in new ways and through someone else\u2019s eyes,\u201d Takaragawa said.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz also presented his work, \u201cMuerto Mouse,<\/a>\u201d which he began drawing to protest the Walt Disney Company’s attempt to trademark the term “Dia de Los Muertos” for merchandise associated with their Pixar movie \u201cCoco.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI drew this cartoon in response to their (Disney\u2019s) action, and they quickly withdrew their applications (to trademark). Pixar would eventually ask me to be a cultural consultant on the animated film, to hopefully ensure they don’t make any more mistakes like the trademark,\u201d Alcaraz told the audience.<\/p>\n

According to Takaragawa, satirical cartoons can highlight social issues in an \u201ceasier-to-digest\u201d lighter way than mainstream media.<\/p>\n

\u201c(La Cucaracha) are short cartoons that often talk about really important and challenging topics and having them in that quick, easy-to-digest format, just helps make things easier. I think his work is really a good commentary on a lot of social issues and contemporary issues, especially from a multicultural point of view,\u201d Takaragawa stated.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Alcaraz received the Library of Congress\u2019s Herb Bloc Foundation<\/a> award for his \u201cLa Cucaracha strip,\u201d as well as his contributions to projects at Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney, Fox and Xbox, and as a Cultural Consultant on the Oscar-winning animated Pixar film \u201cCOCO.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
