The words "criminally underrated" do not even begin to describe how much people have forgotten this totally genius artist. Wes Anderson quoted him, Orson Welles, and Francois Truffaut as his primary inspirations; and it shows.
HOLY MOLY! I had no knowledge of Cuauhtémoc's life and his opinion of the Disney empire. I absolutely love this interview already. Reminds me of my talented godfather. Brilliant man...
what an excellent tribute to this man who was my uncle, my dad's younger brother. his legacy will live on. he was a dear and humble man. truly a blessing to his family. thank you for posting this!
I still love his trademark moustache. Even when he worked for Charles Schulz in the 1960s, he had that curled up 'stache.

This is a great interview - Bill Melendez is the best and his art is timeless. What a beautiful soul.
