Condorito

Condorito is a Chilean comic strip created by René Ríos Boettiger, known as "Pepo". The character made his debut in 1949 in the magazine Okey. Condorito is an anthropomorphic condor, a large bird native to the Andes mountains. He is typically depicted as a working-class man with a simple life, often finding himself in comical and absurd situations.

The humor in Condorito relies heavily on slapstick, wordplay, and situations that resonate with everyday life, particularly in Latin America. Condorito's catchphrase, "¡Plop!", is famously uttered when something goes wrong or when he suffers a mishap, often accompanied by a comical pratfall. He lives in the fictional town of Pelotillehue and frequently interacts with a cast of recurring characters, including his girlfriend Yayita, his rival Pepe Cortisona, and his boss Don Chuma.

Over the decades, Condorito has become an iconic figure in Latin American popular culture. The comic strip has been published in numerous countries throughout the Spanish-speaking world and has been translated into several languages. Its enduring popularity is attributed to its accessible humor, relatable characters, and its ability to satirize social and political issues in a lighthearted manner. Condorito continues to be a beloved and widely recognized comic character.
