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)
