Since he made his debut in 1949, the comic-strip character Condorito has delighted readers with his happy-go-lucky attitude and innocent troublemaking. Half man, half condor, Condorito is at the center of a world of ribald humor and endearing humility. This first book-length collection in English brings together the most popular of the Condorito comic strips. Whether you're a devoted fan or have yet to make his acquaintance, you'll laugh along with Condorito and an extended cast of characters, including his girlfriend, Yayita; his rival, Pepe; his neighbor, Coné; and Washington the dog. With this volume -- a celebration of Condorito's enduring appeal -- you can relive his wickedly funny adventures time and again.
I've always enjoyed the Chilean condor's antics, and it's nice to share with English only friends. I'd like to see more Condorito in English. There may be a few clangs for some readers due to the age of some of the originals as much as the difference in North American and South American sensibilities, but the best zingers more than make up for it.
Condorito!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Quien no se acuerda de condorito. Me acuerdo que cada semana me compraba un paquin de condorito. Sus occurencias son muy divertidas. Si te quieres reir y acordarte de los viejos timpos te lo recomiendo. Sus paginas son de estilo duro y brilloso. Y te garantizo que cada chiste de Condorito termina con PLOP! Si leias los paquines te lo recomiendo. Ya he leido este libro cuatro veces y no me canso de el. Es como el Chavo del ocho ves los mismos episidios pero no te cansas de ellos por nostalgia. Decidi hacer esta revision en Español para todos los hipanos que se acuerdan de Condorito.
A classic

I was so happy when Condorito came out in book format finally. The only drawback is that there aren't more of these types of books out. Condorito is a beloved character and I am happy this fact was recognized with the release of this book in english and spanish.

Really great for Condorito fans

I've collected all the Condorito magazines since I remember and obviously I got this first book. It really is different than the other comics as it features shorter stories, but it still gives great laughs. A must have for fans and and worthy read for non-fans.
