In her “Before I die I want to…” project, artist Nicole Kenney takes Polaroids of people and asks them to write down on the picture what would be the single thing they would like to accomplish before their death. It would seem that Dean Haspiel already reached Nirvana…

‘Celia Learns To Protect Her Baby’ is a minicomic that was published in 1997 by the University Of Washington Novela Health Education bureau, which specialises in bilingual awareness publications .
It was published as a two-language flip book, with an English and a Spanish version. The story was written by Olga Sanchez and Tom Furtwangler, with art by Dean Haspiel. I like the way Dean succeeds in emulating the typical photonovela style the story seems to refer to.
This book is reproduced here with kind permission of the writer and artist. A full bibliographic note is available at the Michigan State University Comic Art Collection Website.
Read on for the whole story.
1967 was a good year - Dean Haspiel, one of my all time favorite cartoonists turned 40 yesterday ! The Chemistry Set has an update interview with Dino himself, and The Comics Reporter has him naked (I think) !
(btw - I’m quite jealous about lack of flab…)
