llan Stavans' article is fairly interesting.  The article starts off by disproving the idea that pop art "is junk."  Stavans' states that pop art such as comics are not imitation or secondhand.  We can see that comics and pop art have validity like any other work of art.  As Stavans' describes, comic books are very popular sources of entertainment in Mexico.  This shows that comics can have importance for people.  In America the reading of comics has become a lost practice. We are far more likely to watch Batman than read  a comic about Batman.  Stavans' comic depicts many Latino and American transactions.  The comics cover a wide range of issues such as Castro taking over Cuba and the Tex-Mex craze.  Stavans uses characters to poke fun at certain issues while giving the reader accurate information about these topics.  Stavans' toucan character always knows what is going on and often gives the reader a smart remark about the topic.
