The amazing editors at Universal (whose humorous writing talents I'd been aware of, but hoped would be hidden forever lest they embarrass the supposedly humorous creators they edit and represent) now have an excellent blog, led by Johnny "G" Glynn. Yesterday's entry, by Lucas Wetzel, was about Condorito.
One of the most pleasant discoveries I've made in my travels in South American is this character, ubiquitous at every newsstand throughout the continent (as far as I can tell). I can only speak Spanish well enough to understand about 20% of each joke and 100% of none, but the visual joke structuring is so over-the-top, the joke itself is besides the point. As Lucas points out, it's all about the Plop.
And you have to remember that the Plop has to be pronounced not in English (rhyming with "mop"), but rather in Spanish (closer to rhyming with "dope," if I'm not mistaken.)
Needless to say, Condorito has been an inspiration for many a Super-Fun-Pak Comic.
