Page "Sergio Aragonés" Paragraph 3

Aragonés used his drawing skill to assimilate.

" The earliest money I ever made was with drawings ," he remembered.

" The teacher would give us homework, which would consist of copying Chapter Eleven, including the illustrations ... a beetle or a plant, the pistil of a flower, or soldiers -- that type of thing.

All the kids who couldn't draw would leave a square where the drawing was, and I would charge them to draw that.

The equivalent of a few pennies ... That's probably why I draw so fast, because I drew so many of them.
