After Gustavo Gutierrez resigned as Speaker of the House of Representatives the scandal hit the press and the cartoonists of the day wasted no time in capitalizing on the story. In the above cartoon published in the newspaper El Tiempo on October 21, 1941 (cartoonist unknown) Gustavo says with a smug look on his face, "My dear Santos Jimenez, it seems you're going to last a short while in the Presidency (Speaker of the House)." Santos Jimemez replies, " I would have nevertheless lasted longer than Carlitos Hevia who only lasted 24 hours." Santos Jimenez is referring to a former President, Carlos Hevia, who lasted only 24 hours as President of Cuba. Apparently Santos Jimenez was being considered for the position of House Speaker.
This cartoon above, entitled "The Problem with the House of Representatives," appeared in a newspaper on October, 1941 by a well known cartoonist named David who would draw G. G. many times throughout his public career. Here, Gustavo says, "Frankly my friend, I'm Cuba (Creole) and I don't like presiding over a Hungarian Congress." In Cuba, a Hungarian Congress implied that there was a constant lack of communication and total confusion among the members of the House of Representative.
In this cartoon above by Silvio, which appeared in the newpaper "Zig Zag," a Congressman is consulting with a fortune teller who says, " I see a man who wants to harm you, really harm you..." The Congressman replies, " It's that Gustavo Gutierrez, who's insisting we all show up for work."
This cartoon above by Vergara appeared in the news paper El Mundo on October 5th, 1941. It's entitled "In the Capital Building." A gentleman walks up to a guard and asks to speak to a certain Representative, Juan Perez. The guard responds, " A Congressman here? You must be mistaken. This is the Capital Building!"
In this cartoon, entitled "The Congressional Mess," also by Vergara, one man says to another, " I'm going to go see Gustavo Gutierrez and explain to him how he can reach a quorum in the House." The other man asks, " Alright, and how do you expect to accomplish this?" the first man replies, " We'll conduct the sessions at the baseball games."
