His first catch was related to wanting to be a fighter. But as the body did not give him, he became a cartoonist. When a job in a TV program live to portray the masked wrestlers from the side ring, called appear masked and thus became the first player of the catch was not a fighter.

The vibrant colors, high contrast and fill the black lines that serve to limit each of the figures in the works. They are Mexican prints, but a Mexico of the '50s, which paints Jaime Flores Mendoza. The correlation of film from this era are seen in tight dresses of the ladies and big hats characteristic of men. Ads and posters of mid-century paintings are recognized for its legends and decorations. Also, the excess is paid by a constant: both men and women at each table carrying rigorous mask wrestler.
