Talk:Zonkey (Tijuana)

Untitled
A recent article in the Tijuana newspaper "Frontera" attributes the origin of the Tijuana Zebras to a street photographer named Jesus Sanchez over 50 years ago. In those times the black and white photos used would fade rather quickly and the white burros would become difficult to see. The original idea was to paint the edges of the burro so it's outline would remain clearer in the photos. This quickly changed to painting the stripes either for better clarity or the comic value. - Border Amigos.

New rating parameter?
This article - if genuine, and I don't doubt its authenticity - needs a rating for comic value. :) -- Timberframe (talk) 21:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
