Penguins are always stealing jobs from Latinos

If you live in Houston, you may have noticed that the Chronicle, in an effort to provide entertainment geared toward Houston’s large penguin population, has replaced the comic strip La Cucaracha with a strip about a group of penguins living in the Arctic Circle — a subject that’s obviously far more relevant to Houston readers than a strip about Latinos and immigration. The Chronicle has one of the largest comics sections in the nation. Surely they could’ve found something else to cut (maybe something whose creator died during the Black Plague).If you’re a Houstonite (or if you’re not but you still read the paper) and a La Cucaracha fan, let the Chronicle know what you think about that by emailing [email protected] or calling 713-362-3222.•••
