Welcome Nacho Guarache

There is a familiar face in a new place this month.

The much missed Nacho Guarache has joined
Scene in S.A.

For 20 years, cartoonist Leo Garza drew the very popular satirical strip for the San Antonio Express-News. Now he has signed on with Scene in S. A. magazine to bring Nacho back to San Antonio every month.

“We’re delighted to have him in the pages and look forward to a long and happy association,” says publisher John Ziller. “The reaction has been more than enthusiastic among friends and colleagues. Leo and Nacho have many loyal fans out there and this should make them happy.”

Garza says he loves living and working in San Antonio. “I like the variety, the never ending subject matter available… the cartoon ideas are always there.”

Leo’s character, “Nacho ” is a beloved “everyman” who endures the political and social goings on in San Antonio and South Texas with a bemused outlook.

Garza was born in McAllen and raised in Laredo. He moved to San Antonio in 1987 bringing Nacho with him to skewer local movers and shakers. In addition to cartooning, Garza has a serious side and paints Western scenes in oil and watercolors. SA
