Cucciolo is the title character of an Italian long-lasting comic book series.
Cucciolo, together with the inseparable friend Beppe, are a couple of comic characters created in 1940 by Giuseppe Caregaro as writer and Rino Anzi as artist as an imitation of Disney characters Mickey Mouse and Goofy. [1] [2] They were originally drawn as two cute anthropomorphic animals, and were protagonists of humorous-adventure stories in which they face the bad Bombarda, an imitation of Pete. [1] Their stories were originally published in the comic magazine Gli Albi Del Scimiottino and in a number of other magazines, then Cucciolo named an eponym comic magazine, published by Edizioni Alpe (later Edizioni Bianconi) from 1948 to 1986. [3]
Starting from post-war era the cartoonist Giorgio Rebuffi revolutionized the comics, turning the two protagonists in two humans, giving them well-defined personalities and enhancing the satirical side of their stories. [1] [2]
Several supporting characters, such as the superhero Tiramolla and the wolf Pugacioff, later became they themselves leading characters of successful spin-off series. [1] [2]
