I thought these were some nice “Classic Zé” covers, a welcome change from the most recent jeans-90s-looking-outfit. Here’s another silly thing I noticed – his trademark cigar has disappeared. We all know it was noticeably absent from the animation featured on the 3 Caballeros ride at EPCOT, but…
So I did some research with older comics (I love you, INDUCKS…) to see when and where Zé gave up smoking. In his first few comic appearances, the cigar is absent but it returns in this 1944 comic:
The cigar seems to have disappeared in the 1950s.
End of story…

Comment by Kenzie June 23, 2008 @ 7:12 pmWell, they wouldn’t want people thinking that Ze was consorting with godless Cuban communists to get his cigars, no? ;)
Comment by reccaphoenix June 23, 2008 @ 7:53 pmThat’s my theory anyway.
