Regarding the photos of the remarks, the podium was flanked by the Mexican and American flags. Due to the angle I was standing at, I was only able to get the American flag in my shots.

EXHIBIT: 100 YEARS OF CARTOON IN EL UNIVERSAL
September 4 - October 30, 2019 at the Mexican Cultural Institute
El Universal newspaper editorial director David Aponte |
The Mexican Cultural Institute is proud to announce its newest exhibit, 100 Years of Cartoons in El Universal: Mexico - United States as Seen by Mexican Cartoonists, taking place from September 4 through October 30, 2019. The exhibit collects a brief sample of the thousands of cartoons published in 100 years in the widely known newspaper, El Universal, where almost all Mexican cartoonists of the 20th century have traveled through. This exhibit reads as a nodal part of the history of the cartoon in Mexico and includes a brief representation of the artists who traced and portrayed the history of the country. The pages of El Universal have shown the critical work, with aesthetic greatness, by artists such as Andrés Audiffred, Eduardo del Río Rius, Helioflores and Rogelio Naranjo, who have all shaped Mexican national events with art and humor.
The exhibition consists of seventy pieces; sixty-two of them orginal and of great value. Most came from the Museum of the Cartoon of Mexico City, from the authors themselves, and from private collectors. The works follow three themes: the American cartoon, the vision of the cartoonists around Uncle Sam and their vision around the American presidents. 100 Years of Cartoons in El Universal is complemented with the first cartoonists of El Universal and concludes with the great masters of the Mexican cartoon.

'Hercules' proves strong enough to lift all of Central Park, but only for a few days [in print as In Central Park, a musical success of Herculean proportions].

Anyone know anything about the artist CHAD from military newspapers? (UPDATED)
Update:
In the comments, Unknown says "That small mark after the CHAD sig reminds me of Chad Grothkopf, though I would have no idea what his later "human" art looked like."
Thank you! I believe you are correct. If you look at his Lambiek page at https://www.lambiek.net/artists/g/grothkopf_chad.htm you can see the signature mark clearly. In 1971, he would have been 57, but neither Lambiek nor Jerry Bails' Who's Who lists work for him at this time, so he could have been doing spot illos through his own company.
You can barely see his signature in this example, but the inks made me look twice to find it.
CHAD - Will - Hospital Clipper 5-11 1971-11 |
Here's two other pieces I found, both clearly showing the syndicate initials.
CHAD - lightning - Hospital Clipper 5-04 1971-04 |
CHAD - sleep to dream - Hospital Clipper 5-05 1971-05 |
