Sor Pampurio is an Italian comic strip series created by Carlo Bisi (1929-1978).
Started in 1929, the comic strips were published, with some breaks, by Il Corriere dei Piccoli until 1978. [1] Every episode starts depicting Sor Pampurio ("Mr. Pampurio")'s happiness about his new house, a happiness that turns in a few frames, for a reason or another, in an increasing discontent and in a new moving at the end of any story. [2]
The comic strip received some very different critical interpretations: during the years it was accused of being an uncritical adhesion of fascist values or marked as "bourgeois comics", while on the contrary other critics considered the comics positively as a slight parody of bourgeois values, a symbolic critic to the rampant consumerism and a reflection about the inability to achieve happiness through material values.

Although the word "novel" normally refers to long fictional works, the term "graphic novel" is applied broadly and includes fiction, non-fiction, and anthologized work. It is, at least in the United States, distinguished from the term "comic book", which is generally used for comics periodicals.

An American comic book is a thin periodical originating in the United States, on average 32 pages, containing comics. While the form originated in 1933, American comic books first gained popularity after the 1938 publication of Action Comics, which included the debut of the superhero Superman. This was followed by a superhero boom that lasted until the end of World War II. After the war, while superheroes were marginalized, the comic book industry rapidly expanded and genres such as horror, crime, science fiction and romance became popular. The 1950s saw a gradual decline, due to a shift away from print media in the wake of television and the impact of the Comics Code Authority. The late 1950s and the 1960s saw a superhero revival and superheroes remained the dominant character archetype throughout the late 20th century into the 21st century.
