The Capulinita Adventures it became the most widely read national comic of its time, and now, the most longed for by Mexicans.
To give us an idea of the mark that this publication left on the people who lived their childhood in the eighties and nineties, you just have to dive into the internet where there are plenty of testimonies that narrate that, when they were children, they did to their parents sad faces, tantrums and even saved to buy the story every Monday.
The success of Capulinita Adventures about their predecessors
Of why the capulinita was so successful it is not clear, but one of the keys to its success may have been its mini size, devised, according to Anthony Henaineson of the deceased capulinaso that the little ones at home could keep it in the small pockets of their pants or school shirt.
Yes, we know, this might seem like an unattractive commercial plus today, but let’s remember that we are talking about the eighties and nineties, a time in which the children’s entertainment it was infinitely less aggressive than now, there were few TV shows, and only a few homes had Atari or Nintendo.
He capulinita it was the same as Capulina Adventures
Another way to give us a better idea of the success of the capulinita is that their funny stories were not new, but were taken from a previous publication called Capulina Adventuresonly this one had several bullet points on a single sheet, as it is a larger format, while in the new edition the format was reduced to one vignette per sheet.
Anyway, hardly anyone remembers the Capulina Adventures and everyone remembers the Capulinita Adventuresthat is to say, it was the latter that remained in the memory of the Mexicans.
The posters of the films of Viruta and Capulina gave way to the comic
Now, the common history of both publications began, one could say, when Viruta and Capulina began to be caricatured to illustrate their movie posters, so it was only a matter of time before someone thought of exploiting the funny image. from both.
The first to see their potential was the artist Sealtiel Alatriste Battlecartoonist for the Sunday supplements of The Herald. After meeting with the king of white humor, they began publishing the Adventures of Chip and Capulina under the seal SESA (Super Ediciones SA), with the slogan The funniest comedians.
Chespirito created the first comic book stories
The first arguments of the comic in question were made by Roberto Gomez Bolaños, Chespirito, who was also in charge of making several of the arguments for the duo’s films.
The Adventures of Chip and Capulina they were a success, reaching 56 thousand copies sold each week. But due to unclear issues, it stopped being published, to make way for the Capulina Adventuresnow under the signature editormex. This new project retained Roberto Gómez Bolaños, Angel Morales and Hector Macedo as a scriptwriter, scriptwriter and cartoonist, respectively. Again it became a success.
After several years of success, the owners of Editormex made a new move: they created Capulinita Adventures, achieving even more success. However, the only complaint was that many of the story panels were lost to adapt them to the new reduced format.
However, it went out of print in the mid-1990s. Will Sipirilí or no poroló be reprinted again? capulinita or at least be released in digital format? We do not know.
