Alberto Jerez Benitez sent these fun cartoons in 1993 from Havana, Cuba. These oversize copies were reproduced on a newsprinty sort of paper.
Two thoughts relating to Cuba:
I had an easier time sending things to the old Soviet Union during the Cold War than I did in the 1990s sending comix to Cuba. The paperwork the Post Office made me go through simply to correspond with a fellow cartoonist was unlike any other postal bureaucratic experience I have encountered.
Second, I live in Washington State. In our state it is now legal to smoke marijuana, but WE STILL CAN'T LEGALLY SMOKE CUBAN CIGARS!!!!! Now I ask you, does that make any sense? Does Castro have to die before we Americans are allowed to openly enjoy the best cigars on the planet?
