I sold a Donald Duck painting today in front of The Anne Frank House so, I guess, it is high time for another one...presumably people buy them for the kids back home or maybe they just see something in these crazy cartoon painting i do not see myself..
Old geezer I often see at the AHA, that homeless centre smack in the middle of the infamous Amsterdam red light district, always pushing a Albert Heyn supermarket trolley loaded to the max with absolute crap found in the street, shouting abuse in some sort of semi-incomprehensible german to passers-by and generally being a nutcase street urchin of the top class city's madhouse idiot cases, a mental state of limbo I hope I will never be in...
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.[citation needed] Condorito and his friends appear in a daily comic strip.
One peculiar characteristic of Condorito is that the character that goes through the embarrassing moment and/or serves as 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 sound (usually ¡Plop!). From time to time, this is replaced by the victim of the joke saying ¡Exijo una explicación! ("I demand an explanation!"), usually as a twist or downbeat ending. Another catchphrase, usual for Condorito, but used with almost all the characters, is "Reflauta", to show frustration or other emotions.
Mafalda (Spanish: [maˈfalda]) is an Argentine comic strip written and drawn by cartoonist Quino. The strip features a six-year-old girl named Mafalda, who reflects the Argentinian middle class and progressive youth, is concerned about humanity and world peace, and has an innocent but serious attitude toward problems. The comic strip ran from 1964 to 1973 and was very popular in Latin America, Europe, Quebec and Asia. Its popularity led to books and two animated cartoon series.[1] Mafalda has been praised as masterful satire.[2]
