Eduardo Humberto del Río García (June 20, 1934 – August 8, 2017), better
known by his pen name Rius, was a Mexican intellectual, political cartoonist and
writer born in Zamora, Michoacán.
One of the most popular Mexican cartoonists, Rius has written over a
hundred books that remain widely popular, especially amongst his Mexican
readers. Rius was a fierce political activist, and his progressive and left-wing
point of view is often present in his writings, accompanied by a strong
criticism about neoliberal Mexican doctrines, US Government policies, and the
Catholic Church. He used to be an open advocate of the Cuban revolution as in
Cuba for Beginners and a strong Soviet bloc sympathizer until the end of the
Cold War. (Quoted from Wikipedia.org)
