(National Sciences and Arts Prize)[6][7]Gabriel Bernal Vargas (5 February 1915 \u2013 25 May 2010)[6][7]  was a Mexican cartoonist, whose comic strip La Familia Burr\u00f3n was created in 1937.[1][2][3] This cartoon has been described as one of the most important in Mexican popular culture.[6][7] Vargas won Mexico’s “Premio Nacional de Periodismo”\u00a0[es] (National Journalism Prize) in 1983 and the “Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes en el \u00e1rea de Tradiciones Populares” (National Sciences and Arts Prize) in 2003.[1][2][6][7][8][9]Table of ContentsEarly life and education[edit]La Familia Burr\u00f3n[edit]Later life and death[edit]Bibliography[edit]References[edit]Early life and education[edit]Gabriel Vargas was born in Tulancingo, Hidalgo, on February 5, 1915, and had 11 siblings.[6][7] His father was a merchant and died when Gabriel was four years old.[1][2] In 1922, his mother, Josefina Bernal, moved the family to Mexico City.[1][2][6][7] Around 1928, Vargas began work as a draftsman for the Exc\u00e9lsior newspaper and eventually became its chief drawer[1][2][6][7] by 1931 when he was sixteen.[6][7] Vargas won an art contest sponsored by Panamericana Editorial which led to him penning his first comic, Los Superlocos, whose main protagonists became the basis for La Familia Burr\u00f3n.[1][2][6][7]La Familia Burr\u00f3n[edit]In 1937, Vargas began drawing La Familia Burr\u00f3n as a separate piece which documented parents, Regino Burr\u00f3n and Borola Tacuche de Burr\u00f3n, their two teenage children, Regino and Macuca Burr\u00f3n, and Foforito Cantarranas, a younger kid who was adopted by the Burr\u00f3ns.[1][2][6][7][8][10][11][12][13]La Familia Burr\u00f3n profiled a lower class family’s daily comedic struggles in an impoverished Mexican barrio.[8][10][11][12][13] At the height of its popularity, the comic strip helped circulation sales to reach 500,000 copies a week.[9][12][13] The comic was temporarily suspended but resumed in 1978.[12][13]Later life and death[edit]In 2007, Carlos Monsiv\u00e1is, who is a patron of the arts, opened the Museo del Estanquillo with an exhibition of Vargas’ La Familia Burr\u00f3n paintings with the artist in person.[4][5] The Burr\u00f3n Family were represented in painted forms by Regino Burr\u00f3n and Borola Tacuche de Burr\u00f3n, Regino and Foforito.[4][5] Vargas sat paralyzed because of an affiction he had suffered for the past twenty years.[4][5]The Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes stated Vargas died on 25 May 2010 at his Mexico City home.[6][7][8]  His health had declined in recent years but no cause of death was given.[6][7][8] According to a statement released by this council, Vargas was “one of the greatest representatives of the golden age of Mexican comics” and an “undeniable reference point for the nation\u2019s popular culture”.[9]Bibliography[edit]The following is a list of Vargas’ various comic strips:[1][2][6][7]Los SuperlocosLa Familia Burr\u00f3n (1937\u20132009)La vida de CristoSherlock HolmesPancho L\u00f3pezEl gran CaperuzoLos ChifladosLos del DoceSopa de perico  In 1983, Vargas received the “Premio Nacional de Periodismo” (National Journalism Prize) in the field of Popular Traditions.[1][2][6][7] In 2003, the “Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes en el \u00e1rea de Tradiciones Populares” (National Sciences and Arts Prize) was presented to him.[1][2][6][7] In 2007, the Federal District government recognized Vargas as a Distinguished Citizen.[1][2][6][7] In addition, the Estanquillo Museum collections exhibited many of his painted works as a homage.[6][7] At the time of his death, a complete exhibition of La Familia Burr\u00f3n was on display at a museum in Florence, Italy.[1][2]On 5
