Guillermo Mordillo, known simply as Mordillo, was an Argentine creator of cartoons and animations and was one of the most widely published cartoonists of the 1970s. He is most famous for his humorous, colorful, and wordless depictions of love, sports (in particular soccer and golf), and long-necked animals. Mordillo died Sunday, age 86, in Majorca, Spain [in Catalan].
I... had a book of these? Maybe picked up on a trip to Europe during the 70s?

Turkey Television (think of it as kind of like Night Flights for kids, on Nickeloeon) used to have animations of his work in heavy rotation, so people who watched Nick growing up and are of a certain age may find these unexpectedly familiar.

Oh. I loved him as a teen and had a book of his work for a long time. Haven’t thought of him since an ex swiped the book in the early 90s, not sure why. That’s sad, but he lived well and left a great legacy. RIP.
