[edit] Characters

[edit] Gaturro

Gaturro is a cat and the protagonist of the comic. He lives with his owners who have raised him since he was young. While his house is a charming place, he also enjoys roaming the rooftops of his neighborhood. Among the rooftops, Gaturro can interact with other characters from neighboring houses. Gaturro's owners send him to school every now and then, not for the education, but to get him out of the house. In school, Gaturro is a bit of a troublemaker and makes life difficult for his teacher, Ms. Ruda Vinagretti. Gaturro has also appeared dressed in formal clothes at his owner's office in some strips to issue a punchline in the form of a thought bubble, but what he does there hasn't really been explained.

[edit] Ágatha

Ágatha is Gaturro's neighbor. They've known each other for a long time and the relationship has always been the same: Gaturro is totally in love with Ágatha, but she never pays him attention. She is very jealous, selfish and she wants to be the only one rejecting him.

[edit] Gaturranta

Gaturranta is another of Gaturro's female friends. In contrast to Ágatha, she is simple, direct and practical. She is Gaturro's good friend and always finds a way to aid the forlorn Gaturro.

[edit] Gaturrín

Gaturrin is the baby of Gaturro's household, and Gaturro adopts him as a nephew. Gaturro tries to instruct Gaturrin but often ends up learning from the baby cat. He is a very good observer of reality, and the weakness of Ágatha. He is often seen sucking on his pacifier, except when he's too busy sucking on his baby bottle instead.

[edit] Canturro

Canturro is the dog of the comic strip (the "can" prefix being derived from the Latin Canis, which in Spanish is often just shortened to "can") . Having taken the phrase "man's best friend" too much to heart, he is convinced that he is the protagonist of the strip. Believing that he looks too much like Gaturro, he undergoes cosmetic surgery to become more "doglike." With this new face, he thinks that he can appear more frightening.

[edit] Emilio

Emilio is the fish of the family. Friend of Gaturro and Gaturrín, who always look for a way to amuse him, although often that "fun" transforms into great "dangers" for the poor Emilio. He lives in a round fishbowl, in the living room of the house, near the armchair for the TV.

[edit] Gateen

Is the adolescent cat of the roofs. Gateen is an authentic "teen", with all adolescent skills that can be imagined. For instance, she is a Money changer and a rebel (still does not know very well why, but wants to be rebellious). She is in the age of the great changes, and it shows. In the bottom she feels that nobody understand her.
