Description
Our 71st quarterly edition celebrates the paleta, the fruit-filled frozen treat on a stick that has cooled down sweltering summer days across Mexico and the U.S. for generations. The tradition traces back to the 1940s, when three cousins from Tocumbo, Michoacn opened a small paletera in Mexico City and went on to build a franchise network that carried paletas north of the border and into cities like Chicago.
Pack B brings three flavors to life on the cover: Pia (Yellow), Jamaica (Garnet), and Fresas con Crema (Pink). Each cover features a transparent backing card illustrated by local Chicago artist Atlan Arceo-Witzl in the style of a classic paleta wrapper.
