''Condorito'' is a Chilean comic book created by the Chilean cartoonist René Ríos, better known as "Pepo".
Its main character is an anthropomorphic condor living in a fictitious town named Pelotillehue — a setting typical of many small Chilean provincial towns. '''Condorito''' is meant to be a representation of the typical low-class Chilean people, aka poor, a bit of irresponsible and always ready to party around, but also kind, friendly, ingenious and loyal to his friends and loved ones.
The comic debuted in 1949 in the first issue of "Okey" magazine in the form of one-page stories. In 1955, a recompilation of Condorito's adventures was published as an independent comic book. From that moment on, Condorito had gained his own comic book, which is still published on a bi-weekly basis. Some of the ''Condorito'' comics have been republished for [http://www.nuspel.org/spanish01.html students of Spanish as a second language].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Happens to Condorito on a semi-regular basis, as he tends to catch women skinny-dipping, interrupting them during a bath or accidentally catching them in variable states of undress. Sometimes he gets to go away with it, other times he's beaten into a pulp.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Garganta de Lata ("Tin Throat") makes [[The Simpsons (animation)|Barney Gumble]] look sober by comparison.
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Condorito's trademarked T-Model Ford automobile. The poor car is practically a rattling pile of rust and bolts kept together with wire and soldering iron... and it still manages to work.
** Condorito did his best to find, buy and fix such a rare car like a T-Model Ford because he didn't wanted to die like Julius Caesar. (He died without owning a T-Model Ford!)
