The story of Gus the Otter, our official logo.
The Carmel Coffee House logo was specially created by Gus Arriola. Gus Arriola’s long running cartoon “Gordo” was one of the first syndicated comic strips.
It celebrated the Latino Culture living in America. An Arizona native, born of Mexican-American decent, he started Gordo in 1941. His strip was about a bean farmer who turned tour
guide. It taught Americans about life south of the border and ran for over 44 years in as many as 270 newspapers.
He created our “Gus” several months before he passed
away in 2008. We traded the drawing of “Gus” the otter for what
turned out to be his last birthday cake. He was a wonderful man, full of life and we are so grateful to have
known him. He is missed by all, but "Gus" the otter keeps him alive in our hearts everyday.
