Rivas describes "BONZZO" as a young likable adult facing life with a child's mentality.

For instance, Tridy, his extraterrestrial best friend; Tirillas, his spoiled cat who only wants to be fed; Ego Causa, Bonzzo's lawyer, mentor, and adviser; and as always, there is also the eternal love, Bogzzy, who is in love with Bonzzo and tries to capture his attention with her doey and seductive gaze.

[5] Rivas designed some special "BONZZO" strips commemorating NASA's achievements, including "Beyond the Moon", a calendar of the year 2000 honoring Hispanic heritage.

On October 12, 2000, Charles H. Scales, the director of Equal Opportunity at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, was the first recipient of this award: the statue was signed by Marshall Center Director Art Stephenson, Puerto Rican Gov.

Pedro Rosselló and John Rivas,[6] who donated the statue to honor the work of Hispanics at the Marshall Center.

[7] “Charles is an excellent choice for this first award,” said Elia Ordonez, Hispanic Employment Program manager at the Marshall Center.

A life-sized BONZZO figure marched in the 2004 Puerto Rican Day Parade celebrated in New York City.

With his yellow shirt, blue pants and red snickers, this young man, who has made us laugh with his adventures in newspaper comic strips, will now move his comedic career to the Internet.

“It is very sad that newspapers don’t give caricaturists a break”, Rivas said, lamenting the island's situation.

“Projects that help other people see these artistic works and give you an opportunity.” "[2] On May 10, 2012, BONZZO had its Second USPS Pictorial Cancellation, in which the General Archive of Puerto Rico, located in San Juan, PR, became "The Art of Bonzzo at the General Archive of Puerto Rico Station".

[9][10][11][12][13][14] Dr. Hermán J. Cestero MD, from the Philatelic Society of Puerto Rico put the historic event in perspective by explaining the practice of commemorative stamps.

Its apparent simplicity is what leads us to wrap ourselves in his world, that is ours ... and brings a smile to us, as he takes us away, for a moment, from the daily hustle we live in.

He uses this phrase at all times to describe his situations in daily life, which intentionally cause harm around him and corrupt his customs, with a great negative effect on himself.

You can see the effect of the perversity of matter in the advice that he gives BONZZO at all times, full of wisdom, and many others lacking sensitivity.

He is very good at his profession, although his personality proves otherwise, as it reflects a level of mediocrity and irresponsibility with his informal way of dressing, with shorts, shirt and tennis shoes; also, his car is full of bumps.

These strange characters have round eyes and autonomous expressions, which reflect the mood, the attitudes, etc., like the chorus of Greek tragedy.

"[11][12][21][22][23][24] On 2012 John Rivas also participated, with various of his BONZZO works, on a zero violence cartoon exposition held at the General Archive of Puerto Rico.
