City Limits Gazette # bezango (March 1991)

This issue of CLG might've been my first use of the word "Bezango" in print.

An innocent mention of King Features editor Jay Kennedy and his connection with Family Circus artist Bil Keane is the first fine line crack in the dam that will soon burst.

I provide a brief synopsis on the comix career of Ronald Gabriel Vicens II, better known as "Gato."

Bad cover versions of And I Love Her, And Your Bird Can Sing, Ask Me Why, Baby You're a Rich Man, Baby's In Black, Back in the USSR, Ballad of John and Yoko, Because, Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, Birthday, Blackbird, Blue Jay Way, Can't Buy Me Love, Come Together, Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill.

It's been a long time since I've been in touch with any of these artists. Hawaiian artist Gato had a brief but very memorable career in the Newave comix movement, producing a spate of high energy original books. Then he suddenly vanished from the scene leaving an audience hungry for more.
