Condorito: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

** 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!)

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Chacalito ("Little Jackal") debuted in a late 1970s story as a throwaway character, but nearly a decade later he was reintroduced as Pelotillehue's local psychopath.

** During the 1980s and 1990s, two pretty girls called Maca and Potoca were used as recurring extras for jokes involving nudity, [[Barely There Swimwear]] or risky situations. The reason? They were meant to take the place of Condorito's girlfriend for jokes too risky for her.

* [[Brick Joke]]: Played straight and inverted for laughs.

* [[Broken Aesop]]: Oh, where to begin? Always played for laughs, though.

Line 60:

** Other retired characters were Lucifer, Yayita's hellish cat; Don Guiussepe, a jolly Italian inmigrant who owned a grocery store, and Chin-Chu-Lin, a stereotypical Chinese immigrant with buck teeth and a ponytail.

* [[Punny Name]]: Comegato ("Cat Eater"), Huevoduro (literally, "hardboiled egg") and the towns of Pelotillehue, Cumpeo and Buenas Peras.

** Incidentally, Cumpeo is the name of an [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Río_Claro~~ actual Chilean town].

** British explorers Sir Faifoclocti, Lord Esquiusmi and Lord Eggon.

* [[Recurring Extra]]: Most, if not all, of the artists working on the comic created their own set of nameless "filler" characters to be recycled at need, rather than keep creating throwaway characters for every story.

** Two of them, a couple of young and beautiful girls called "Maca" and "Potoca", are worth mention, as they were Yayita's unofficial replacement on jokes involving nudity or very revealing clothes, reaching [[Those Two Guys]] status during the time their creator worked in the comic book.

* [[Romantic False Lead]]: Pepe Cortisona, especially during the first half of the 2000s.

* [[Shout Out]]: Plenty, including a very explicit one to the Chilean military dictatorship of the 1970s and 1980s when no one else dared to talk about it.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Plenty, including a very explicit one to the Chilean military dictatorship of the 1970s and 1980s when no one else dared to talk about it.

* [[Suck Out the Poison]]: Hilariously subverted. After reading a book about how to cure poisonous snake bites, Condorito tells Pepe Cortisona (who was bit by a snake) that [[Comedic Sociopathy|there's no cure]]. [[Face Fault|¡PLOP!]]

* [[Take That]]: Pepo had an incident where a guy called Washington Quezada offended his wife, so Pepo took revenge in two ways: The phrase "muera el roto Quezada" (roughly, "death to the rude Quezada") [[Running Gag|popped up anywhere]] [[Funny Background Event|in the background of the strip]]; and he [[We Named the Monkey Jack|named Condorito's dog Washington]]. The first was removed when Quezada passed away, but the later stuck.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Ungenio Gonzalez. He is the first man in the world to have drowned on a desert's mirage.

* [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter]]: Yayita Vinagre. Don Cuasimodo and Doña Tremebunda are fat, ugly and rude, while their daughter is slender, beautiful and polite.
