Description
Sketchbook drawing with a structure similar to that of a comic book. The first frame features a hefty pachuco asking another pachuco, "You High, Man?" The other pachuco, who is elevated off the ground, responds, "Voy P'arriba Loco". In the second frame, two pachucos walk side by side with a dog. The title is "El Chaparro y El Flaco". The third frame takes up the bottom half of the page and features a pachuco reaching into his jacket pocket. He says, "Hei Come Back!! No es Cuete, Loco! I'm Just Holding Up My Tramados". An animal sniffing his feet thinks, "I'm a Giant Rata passing as a small barrio dog hee, hee". A dog poking his head in from off the page thinks, "Ah Jijo de la Madre, Bow Wow!! Yarf!!".
