Tevito
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tevito was the official mascot of the Chilean state channel Televisión Nacional de Chile during the 1970-1973 socialist government of Salvador Allende.
Tevito was a smiling cartoon dog personified in various ways. Sometimes he was a boxer, sometimes he wore reading glasses, and also disguised himself as a vampire. He played the trutruca, a typical instrument of the Mapuche indigenous people of southern Chile and was an expert cumbia dancer. The character was created by student Carlos González of the Fine Arts Institute in Santiago, Chile, whose drawing won the competition among six other submissions.
