Search Update


Finally, a breakthrough! Maybe not as impressive as I'd hoped for, but at least something more to go on. I was googling on Louis Cazeneuve when I got frustrated and started trying various keywords with the last name. Suddenly, I found a source of information in the form of a Dutch comic shop: Lambiek that has a page on Cazeneuve. More importantly, they spell his first name "Luis". D'oh! I should have thought of that!

In any case, the page gives me a couple of more pieces of information to go on, including the names of three works he did in Argentina: "Quique, el Niño Pirata", "Aventuras de Caza del Pibe Palito" and "Aventuras de dos Argentinos en un País Salvaje". Those would be "Quique, the Boy Pirate", the "Hunting Adventures of Pibe Palito", and the "Adventures of two Argentineans in a Wild Country" (according to Babelfish). Luis apparently drew "Quique" from 1931 until he moved to the US in 1939, though I have no proof of that. The strip appeared in El Mundo. I'm going to have to see if anyone local has microfilm of that Argentinian paper.



I also found the above sample of his art on "Quique", which I plan to take to work tomorrow and show to my co-worker who is a native Spanish speaker.
