Marginals

Added notes about birth of marginals; they had started as text jokes. The details are based remembered answers from a Q&A session Aragones gave at GenCon some time in 90s. Alan De Smet 00:54, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It would also be interesting to add to the article how many marginals does he do for MAD each month, is it a fixed number or does he just draws a random number of cartoons? ViccoLizcano (unsigned) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.23.91.242 (talk) 18:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sergio warned off comics for MAD

Added note that Sergio was warned off of comics; apparent MAD paid better. Again, this is from the GenCon Q&A session I attended in the 90s. Clearly these are his claims (and my memories of those claims). It's possible that Mr. Aragones misremembered details, I misremembered details, or that Mr. Aragones stretched the truth for humorous effect. I believe attributing the information to Mr. Aragones is a reasonable way to include it. Alan De Smet 00:59, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Sergio is not Mexican by birth or citizenship

Regarding my revert of "Mexican" from categories. Sergio was born in Spain, moved to Mexico with his parents, then moved to the United States in 1962 (I'll note that last item in the article momentarily). One could make a case for his being a Spanish artist (by heritage and birth), or an American artist (by current residence). The claim for Mexican would be iffy. (Regrettably, I don't know about actual citizenship.) Alan De Smet 18:24, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Reverted "Mexican" from the categories again for the above reasons. Is there a good reason to list him under Mexican instead of American (which he is) or Spanish? Alan De Smet | Talk 22:10, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
Apologies, didn't see that I was re-reverting. I thought Aragones produced work in the US and Mexico, Spain simply being his birth country? In which case there's a reasonable claim for him to go in both categories. What do others think? Vizjim 08:45, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Including Sergio's exact birthday

I removed Sergio's exact birthdate because of the following I read on referencing famous people:

Privacy of birthdays

Wikipedia includes exact birth-dates for some famous people, but including this information for most living people should be handled with caution. While many well-known living persons' exact birthdays are widely known and available to the public, the same is not always true for marginally notable people or non-public figures. With identity theft on the rise, it has become increasingly common for people to consider their exact dates of birth to be private information. When in doubt about the notability of the person in question, or if the subject of a biography complains about the publication of his or her date of birth, err on the side of caution and simply list the year of birth rather than the exact date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Privacy_of_birthdays

I know they can find it on IMDB, but there isn't really anything we can do about that. I personally think that adding Mr. Aragones exact birthdate just because another website has it is like when your parents used that timeless phrase, "Well if everyone else was jumping off a bridge..." heh. :P That's why I edited it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The One Watcher (talk • contribs) 18:35, May 4, 2007.

An anonymous editor notes that Aragones's official website gives his date of birth, so I think we're perfectly safe in listing it. The editor linked to the citation in his edit summary, but didn't cite it. I'll add the cite. — Alan De Smet | Talk 20:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aragonés and Feldman's death.

I've deleted the entire section on Aragonés's involvement in the death of Marty Feldman. The only citation a comic story by Aragonés written for entertainment value. It may be exaggerated to make it more entertaining. Furthermore, the impact of scaring Feldman on his health isn't terribly clear. Marty Feldman#Death points out the far more mundane likely causes of his death. This doesn't seem especially worth mentioning. — Alan De Smet | Talk 04:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redd Foxx

I think he appeared in a ‘70’s movie called “Norman, is That You?” 173.164.246.157 (talk) 02:04, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
