Written and illustrated by Esteban Podetti, with inks by Pablo Sapia and letters by Podetti himself, the story follows El Mugre as he’s pulled into a surreal encounter with a policeman whose idea of justice spirals into increasingly bizarre territory. The cover by Esteban Podetti perfectly captures the story’s off-kilter tone, making this a standout entry in the era’s alternative comics scene.

El Mugre flees from a chaotic dance or club scene, claiming he paid twenty pesos to enter an infernal place. A policeman stops him for drunken disorder but then decides he seems like a good person and offers to help. The “good policeman” repeatedly escalates the situation through bizarre logic, taking El Mugre to a criminal asylum, defending police procedure, and ultimately being visited by a furious mother whose child has been frightened or harmed by El Mugre’s drunken behavior.
