Lemon Grove native Lalo Alcaraz has long been an advocate for better representation of Latinos in America. Now, it's his day job. He got his start as an editorial cartoonist at San Diego State University's student newspaper The Daily Aztec before going on to create the first nationally-syndicated, politically-themed Latino daily comic strip, "La Cucaracha." More recently, he's worked as a cultural consultant on the Pixar film “Coco” and the upcoming animated Nickelodeon show, “The Casagrandes.”

Hosts: Gary Baca & Lalo Alcaraz KPFK August 2017 Bobby Caldwell Biography Bobby Caldwell was born in Manhattan but grew up in Miami. His mother sold real estate, and one of her clients was reggae singer Bob Marley; Caldwell and Marley became friends. Growing up in Miami exposed Caldwell to a variety of music, such as Haitian, Latin, reggae, and R&B. He grew up listening to the music of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. When he was 12, Caldwell started playing piano and guitar. He was drawn to rock and roll, as well as jazz and rhythm and blues. At 17, he worked with his band in Las Vegas then moved to Los Angeles. He signed with TK Records in Miami. In 1978, after songs for his first album were recorded, executives told Caldwell they enjoyed the album but thought it was lacking a hit. Caldwell returned to the studio for two days and wrote "What You Won't Do for Love". TK was mainly an R&B label popular among African American listeners. Executives at the label wanted to conceal the fact that Caldwell was white, so they kept his face off the album cover. When he toured with Natalie Cole to support the album, most of the audience was black, and many were surprised that he turned out to be white. "What You Won't Do for Love" reached the top ten on the Billboard magazine Pop (No. 9) R&B (No. 6), and Adult Contemporary (No. 10) charts. The song has been covered, remade, and sampled many times. Caldwell remade it in 1998. It was covered by Go West, Phyllis Hyman, and Boyz II Men, and has been sampled by Tupac Shakur. It was also covered by Elliott Yamin during the fifth season of American Idol in 2006. The 1980 track "Open Your Eyes" was sampled by J Dilla on Common's "The Light" from his 2000 album "Like Water For Chocolate".

Lalo Alcaraz is a nationally-syndicated cartoonist, writer and producer based in Los Angeles.  He is the creator of the first politically-themed Latino comic, “La Cucaracha,” the founder of Pocho.com and was a writer and producer for the 2016 Fox series Border Town. He was also a cultural consultant for the Disney Pixar feature Coco.  He is currently a consulting producer and writer for The Casagrandes, which will premiere this fall on Nickelodeon. Lalo talks to Ali about his parents’ journey from Mexico to Southern California, how their struggle informs his work today and how he foresees the country’s future.  

As one of the best rising political cartoonists in the country, since 2009 Joaquin Junco Jr better known by his artist name Junco Canché has done political cartoons featured in publications such as El Coyote Crossing Borders the San Diego Free Press, La Prensa San Diego as well as the Southwestern College Sun; and most recently working as a regular guest contributor for the nationally syndicated comic strip La Curacha from San Diego native Lalo Alcaraz. As a Chicano artist, Junco’s art and satirical comics offer an often overlooked perspective view of both the state and national politics from a adamantly and unapologetic, Chicano/Mexican-American perspective. Giving a unique look into politics and life around the U.S./Mexico border region and South-Western United States; few artists have managed to so cleverly and concisely comment on today’s political climate of the past few years better than Junco. Here at Step Off! Radio we had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Junco on a variety of topics from his memories growing up in Mexico in the 90’s, the countless nuances of the lived Chicano experience here in the U.S., Cultural appropriation vs, appreciation, decolonization in the arts and pop-culture as well as his most recent collaborations with musical artists such as Kozmik Force. We hope you all enjoy our discussion with the one and only Junco Canché. *BIG shout out to Junco for his continued support and for his immense patience with us as we worked on completing this episode!

“I use humor as a way to let our community know that we’re not invisible, at least not to us.” Chicano cartoonist and writer Lalo Alcaraz explores his dual identity by creating characters and places where he can be seen. He’s known as a writer for the Fox sitcom Bordertown and for La Cucaracha, the first nationally syndicated, politically themed, Latino daily comic strip. Humor as a tool for survival is embodied in his very being.

  Under Donald Trump, political comedy has often been more hard hitting than straight news. And it’s not just big-name late night hosts carrying the torch. Comedians across the country are rethinking what comedy means during a Trump administration. Is it still just about being funny? Or is it about resistance? Host Julio Ricardo Varela leads a discussion on this and more with comics Lalo Alcaraz and Elsa Waithe.

It's the week of July 4th, and so on this episode of The Comics Alternative the Two Guys with PhDs pay homage to the stars and stripes…in comics! Yes, that's right dear patriotic listener: this week Andy and Derek are focusing only on American-themed comics, new as well as not-so-new. They begin by looking at new recent books where the American project stands front and center. First, they discuss Manifest Destiny, Vol. 1: Flora and Fauna, by Chris Dingess, Matthew Roberts, and Owen Gieni (Image Comics). Both of the guys are bowled over by this first collection and see the series as a great example of American gothic. Next, they turn their attention to the new work by Ilan Stavans and Lalo Alcaraz, A Most Imperfect Union: A Contrarian History of the United States (Basic Books). While the guys applaud the creators' intentions of creating an alternative or oppositional history, they're not convinced that the book lives up to its title. In short, they're hard pressed to find much that is contrary in this contrarian history. But then, after discussing these two new titles, they highlight several of their favorite American-centered comics from years gone by (and some others that are more recent). And what a varied list it is. Andy mentions the following:Strange Fruit, Vol. 1: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History, by Joel Christan Gill (Fulcrum Publishing); American Flagg!, by Howard Chaykin (Image Comics); Saga of the Swamp Thing, by Alan Moore and Stephen Bessetti (DC Comics); Shade the Changing Man, by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo (Vertigo/DC Comics). And Derek briefly discusses several other American-themed titles: Lewis and Clark, by Nick Bertozzi (First Second); The Big Lie, by Rick Veitch and Gary Erskine (Image Comics); R. Crumb's America, by Robert Crumb (Last Gasp); Uncle Sam, by Steve Darnall and Alex Ross (Vertigo/DC Comics). They could have go on and on with other, similar titles, but there's only so much you can pack into a single week's show. So fire up the grill, light up those fireworks, and pledge your allegiance to The Comics Alternative on its special Independence Day episode!

Recently the internet was rocked by controversy when Fox announced they were launching a new cartoon series called“Bordertown”. The show is scheduled to be released in 2014 and will be based in a town near the U.S.-Mexico border. It will follow the lives of two neighbors. Bud Buckwald, a Border Patrol agent and Ernesto Gonzalez, a hard working Mexican immigrant. They just happen to live next door to each other. Inevitably they are destined to cross paths.
