This poster was created for an exhibition in solidarity with Cuba at the Mission Cultural Center. Enrique Chagoya and Jos Sances collaborated by dividing up the image geographically. Chagoya drew Cuba and the fighter plane and designed the text. Sances drew Florida and added the shadow of the fighter jet over Cuba. Florida is filled with characters based on MAD Magazine’s Spy vs. Spy comics. At the time, Sances was unaware that the artist who created Spy vs. Spy was actually an anti-Castro Cuban exile.
