El Vetica, take 3. (I fucking hate it when Gruber is right.)

“El Vetica”, a marvelous new type geek t-shirt by our pal Mike Monteiro, is now available in the Mule Design Studio Feed Store.

Celebrating the career of Mexico’s only typographer/luchador. El Vetica, also known as El Kernudo, fought out of the small town of San Serif. He held the Mexican Inter-Continental belt for an unprecedented 7 years, from 1977–84. He also starred in several telenovelas, most notably Las Esposas do Luchador and El Santo e Super Amigos.
