| kenneth g - My wife and I felt the need to express our deep appreciation for the service we have received both in mail order and in person at conventions these past six years in doing business with you ! You have been very fair in pricing the art and even cutting your prices lower for the sale . I have tried to deal the OTHER DEALERS with really overblown prices for their art, but you and your staff have held your Integrity all these years and made collecting original art affordable to the working class . Both Diana and I thank you and your staff ! Looking forward to doing business with you many more years to come ! Kenneth & Diana G. |
Antonio Prohías, born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, was a cartoonist most famous for creating the comic strip Spy vs. Spy for MAD Magazine.
In 1946, Prohías was given the Juan Gualberto Gómez award, recognizing him as the foremost cartoonist in Cuba. By the late 1940s, Prohías had begun working at El Mundo, the most important newspaper in Cuba. In January 1959, Prohías was the president of the Cuban Cartoonists Association; after Fidel Castro seized power, he personally honored the cartoonist for his anti-Batista political cartoons. But Prohías soon soured on Castro's policies. When he drew cartoons to this effect, he was dismissed by his newspapers, which had been taken over by Fidel Castro's government. With his professional career in limbo, Prohías left Cuba for New York on May 1, 1960. Ten weeks later, he had sold his first work to Mad.
