Cuban news media say former President Fidel Castro has appeared in public for the first time since April.

The Communist Party newspaper Granma reports that the 87-year-old Castro appeared Wednesday night at the opening of a Havana art studio.

The official website Cubadebate carries a photo of the event on Thursday, though it does not show his face. A seated, gray-haired Castro is shown from behind, pointing at a work of art while artist Alexis Leyva leans in to talk with him.

It's the first public appearance by Castro since he attended the inauguration of Havana school on April 9.

3. Dear Fidel; please drop dead.

the only chance of normalized relations with Cuba is if you croak.
I want to send the people of your country parts to keep their old cars running, and in return all I ask is a steady supply of cigars.

your pal,
