Andrew Zermeño, an artist active with the [Mechicano Art] Center, was born in 1935 in Salinas, California. He graduated from high school with a scholarship to attend California College of Arts and Crafts, eventually transferring in 1958 to Art Center in Los Angeles (now Art Center College of Design in Pasadena). When Cesar Chavez started the United Farm Workers Union newspaper El Malcriado, he asked Zermeño to draw the political cartoon character of Don Sotaco to educate farmworkers about their rights and to encourage them to join the union. Throughout the late 1960s and into the 1970s Zermeño continued to produce graphic design works, including strike posters and a calendar, to support the union's cause." - Hammer Museum.  With "See Merrill Field Office" written in ink below masthead.
