Squee

Todd Casil, better known as Squee after the noise he makes when frightened, is a young boy who first appeared in issue #1, living next door to the title character, Johnny C. His parents neglect him (especially his father, who works long hours) and his only shown friend other than Johnny is a small teddy bear that he carries around named Shmee. Shmee tells Squee in a dream that all his fears and nightmares are inside him. Squee is also friends with Satan's son, with whom he attends school. He later had his own series called Squee!, which was collected in Squee's Wonderful Big Giant Book Of Unspeakable Horrors. He also had another friend named Andy, but he was attacked and killed by a dog.

Pepito (comics)

Pepito is the title character of an Italian comic series created by Luciano Bottaro.

History

Pepito debuted in 1951, first published in the comics magazines Gaie Fantasie and Cucciolo; from 1955, Pepito became the leading character of an eponymous comic book series, published in Italy by Edizioni Bianconi. While the success in Italy was limited, and there the comic book lasted just two years, the comics had a significant international success, especially in France (where it was published for 27 years) and, less remarkably, in Germany, Greece and South America.

Plot and characters

Pepito is a young pirate with a puffy face wearing a large hat with a skull. He is fighting against the evil Governor of the island of Las Ananas Hernandez Banana (or Hernandez de la Banana, sometimes called "His Ventripotence" or "The Mortadella with Legs" because of his waist), who is assisted by the diabolical inventor Scartoff. Aboard his ship the Peanut, Pepito is assisted in this task by his second Crochette and by a funny group of buccaneers, including a very talkative parrot, Bec-de-Fer and a monkey, sometimes called Parakeet sometimes Pancrace.
