Apropos Appropriation

Hey, Archie McPhee! You ask, Who is Senor Misterioso? Well, if you weren't such a gringo, you'd know that he's Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez, future patron saint of Venezuela and a lesser deity in the syncretic cult of Maria Lionza.

Amazing what you learn while staring into the window of the Botanica San Antonio. But if the blessed Dr. Hernandez can do double duty as a Catholic and cult saint, he can certainly fill in as a hipster icon.
