Mexican cartoonist Felipe Galindo, who goes by Feggo, has been dreaming up surreal images since he was a teenager. Today they are published in the New Yorker and Mad Magazines and all over the world. We spoke with him in his Washington Heights studio in New York as part of our new series looking at Latino professionals with unusual jobs.
