The December issue of Estrellita Mía 2016, was the beginning of slight changes inside the format of the fanzine. At the same time we were able to expand some pages and keep working with some of our favorites artists too.
The Santiago based artist Limón Camilo was the creator of this edition cover art, featuring the obscure TV-clown of the 80s chilean tv, «La tía Pucherito» against a background of neon pop explosions. The cover consisted in a sticker glued over a traslucent plastic sheet. The back cover was another sticker with a deformed version of the Tia Pucherito by Carlos Apablaza.
