Isidoro Cañones is a fictional character from Argentine comics, created by Dante Quinterno. He was created as a supporting character of Patoruzu, but got his own comic book afterwards, which is periodically reprinted. The character is often referenced as a "playboy", but only with the meaning of a man seeking leisure and a high-society lifestyle, without references to sex. The character has been used in a 2007 animated movie. ==Publication history== Before the creation of Isidoro, Quinterno created other characters of a similar style. The first one was ''Manolo Quaranta'', for the "''La Novela Semanal''" magazine. It was followed by ''Don Gil Contento'' and ''Julián de Monte Pío''. This last character was usually involved in games, horse races and nocturnal life, and had Patoruzu as a supporting character. However, popular reception modified this, and Patoruzu became the main character, with Julian as the supporting one.〔Accorsi, p. 11〕 Quinterno also created ''Pepe Torpedo'' for a comic strip in La Razón, oriented towards automovilism. Quinterno left La Razón and its related publications, and he managed to keep the copyright over Patoruzu. The newspaper kept the other characters, and published Julián de Monte Pío as a stand alone character. Pepe Torpedo was simply discontinued. Quinterno would create a new character for another newspaper, ''Isidoro Batacazo'', a businessman interested in horse races. Quinterno resumed the publication of Patoruzu in 1935, outside of La Razón. To fill the role of Julián de Monte Pío, whose rights were still held by the newspaper, he created ''Isidoro Cañones'', a new character with combined characteristics of Quaranta, Contento, Julián and Batacazo. Isidoro would be, since his first appearance, Patoruzu's representative. The comic book was based in the dichotomy between both characters, with Patoruzu being full or virtues and Isidoro full of flaws. Isidoro's attempts to steal money from Patoruzu or have a high lifestyle without working were the usual action that started most plots. Isidoro would start to be featured in solo stories without Patoruzu in 1940, and the title of the main comic book would be changed to include both Patoruzu and Isidoro in it. In his own stories, the role of Patoruzu would be filled by Isidoro's uncle, the colonel Urbano Cañones. The success of Patoruzu also led to the creation of ''Patoruzito'', a child version of Patoruzu, which included as well a child adaption of Isidoro, ''Isidorito''. Unlike the main character, ''Isidorito'' would always stay as a supporting character for Patoruzito. 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「Isidoro Cañones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
