I illustrations parodying una of my creations,

product of a call that I launched on Facebook,

to the friends who would like to do their version of my character Ajíguaguao,

the first to respond and contribute with his work was incredibly my Cuban cartoonist friend Orestes Suarez, a celebrity in the field of Cuban and international cartoons, since he has been working for years for the renowned Italian publishing house, Sergio Bonelli,

for which he has illustrated several of his characters.
