Neighbor (the Poet, I think) visiting Gordo's house watches Trailing Arbutus fiddling with the kitchen faucets as "Yeeks" squeal through the house. He asks Tijuana Mama, "Air in the pipes?"
"No", she replies, "Lard in the shower." A dripping Gordo in a towel appears to chase Trailing Arbutus.
It was a different kind of comic strip but often funny on its own terms. The cat was a masterpiece.
I've read that in the early years Gordo was depicted along the lines of American stereotypes of Mexicans (current when the strip began), but that changed after a while. There was a Widow Gonzalez who wanted Gordo to marry her, but she disappeared after a while. The strip just stopped abruptly with no warning. It deserved to be better known that it was.
