''Blu'' (''Bidu'') is a character in the Brazilian comic strip Monica's Gang, created in 1959. He was the first character created by Maurício de Sousa, along with his owner Franklin (''Franjinha'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turma da Mônica » Bidu )〕 The character appears in the logo and is the mascot of Mauricio de Sousa Produções, the company founded by Sousa to release his works. Blu is the only character who appears in two different kinds of stories. In one, he is a normal dog, owned by Franklin, who fears taking baths (but is invariably forced to take them by Franklin), does anything in exchange for a bone, and plays around with the other dogs from the neighborhood. In the other type of stories, he is a director-actor of his own stories, is highly personified (walking with two feet behind the sets, and walking like a normal dog when acting), and is famous for the strips in which he talks to objects, especially the rock called Mrs. Stone. == History == Mauricio says he based both Blu and Franklin on himself and Cuíca, the dog he had when he was a child.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turma da Mônica » PERGUNTAS E RESPOSTAS (1). )〕 His first appearance was in 1959 in the comic strip "Bidu e Franjinha" published in the newspaper Folha da Manhã.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turma da Mônica » Bidu Primeiro e Único. )〕 His first stories had as protagonist the kid Franklin (the Blu's owner) and his friends Bucky, Jeremiah, Manezinho and Hummer. In 1960 through a partnership with the publisher ''Editora Outubro'', Mauricio de Sousa collaborated making stories of his characters to children's magazine ''Zás Trás'', while in the same year he created an own magazine for Blu and Franklin, titled ''Bidu'' by the publisher ''Editora Continental''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PLANETA GIBI BLOG: Todos os gibis da turma: pré-história )〕 But his comic was canceled in the same year with only 8 issues. In 1961 he and Franklin became a support characters of the strips when the character Jimmy Five has become the protagonist,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=De Angelis Ark: Turma da Mônica: As primeiras aparições )〕 however stories with him and Franklin remain being published for many years. In 1963 when Mauricio founded his own studio, the project was originally called as "Bidulândia Serviços de Empresa" (now known as "Mauricio de Sousa Produções") in tribute to the character.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Meu nome, minha marca )〕 In the 70s and 80s the Blu and Franklin stories they were becoming less frequent, Franklin went on to act with Monica, Jimmy Five, Smudge and Maggy, while Blu went on to starring in stories alone. Since the 1960s Blu doesn't have his own printed comics again, but when he completed 40 years of existence, a special print was released for him, and titled "Bidu – Especial 40 Anos" ''(Blu – 40 Years Special)''.〔http://www.maniadegibi.com/loja/images/Um%20tema%20so%2023.jpg〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blu (Monica's Gang)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
