Condorito
''Condorito'' (''Little Condor'' in Spanish) is a Chilean comic book and comic strip that features an anthropomorphic condor living in a fictitious town named Pelotillehue—a typical small Chilean provincial town. He is meant to be a representation of the Chilean people. Condorito was created by the Chilean cartoonist René Ríos, known as '' Pepo''. Despite his Chilean origin, Condorito is very popular throughout Latin America, where the character is considered part of the general popular culture. Condorito and his friends appear in a daily comic strip. One peculiar characteristic of ''Condorito'' is that the character, after going through an embarrassing moment or being the butt of the joke in a given strip, almost always falls backwards to the floor (legs visible or out of frame) in the final panel, although new comic strips have now put the victim of the joke looking at the reader instead. This classic comic strip "flop take" is accompanied by a free-fall onomatopoeic so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
