Dibujo en blanco y negro de un hombre cabalgando sobre un guajolote grande, como si fuera un caballo.

Dibujo en blanco y negro de un hombre cabalgando sobre un guajolote grande, como si fuera un caballo.

Del #archivo: “La venganza del guajolote” de Xavier De León (El Heraldo Mexicano, 1927). Un guajolote protesta su destino festivo y promete venganza desde la barriga del comensal.

“Pues bien, si a mí me coméis,
os juro que en la barriga
os mostraré mi venganza…”
