Editor's comments: " Funny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras--skeletons performing various everyday or festive activities--came to be. They are the creation of Mexican artist José Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852-1913). In a country that was not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the amusement of the local population but not the politicians. He continued to draw cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his calavera drawings. They have become synonymous with Mexico's Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe's, author Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity. The book includes an author's note, bibliography, glossary, and index."

"The great cartoonist Posada lived through the Porfiriato years and brought a popular message to the mass of citizens who lived so miserably under the Díaz dictatorship. Although best-known for his Calavera images of whimsical skeletons, Posada lived through the early years of the Revolution and his hojas sueltas or broadsides captured much of the activity of the period: corridos to celebrate heroes and battles, or calaveras to satirize unpopular characters.
In this patriotic imagen tricolor, Posada brings back Independence to its true beginning, the 16th of September. Porfirio Diaz had merged independence celebrations with his own birthday on September 15th. Ironically, the Revolution did not do away with this Porfiriato tradition. To this day, Grito festivities, still take place on the eve of September the 16th (source: http://web.stanford.edu/~c0y0t8/celebratemexico/vivael16.html)

In 1900 the Maucci Brothers, a Spanish publisher, commissioned Posada to illustrate a series of pamphlets for children on the history of Mexico. The cover illustrations are probably the only mechanically produced chromolithographs that Posada ever did.

Faced with an Aztec revolt against their rule, forces under the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes fight their way out of Tenochtitlan at the heavy cost. Known to the Spanish as La Noche Triste, or “the Night of Sadness,” many soldiers drowned in Lake Texcoco when the vessel carrying them and Aztec treasures hoarded by CortÝs sank. Montezuma II, the Aztec emperor who had become merely a subject of Cortes in the previous year, was also killed during the struggle; by the Aztecs or the Spanish, it is not known.
