Adolfo Mazzone

His characters included the convict Piantadino, who became the subject of a 1950 film, and Mi Sobrino Capicúa (My Nephew Palindrome), whose adventures were published for almost forty years.

[4] Mazzone was not only a prolific artist and creator of characters, but founded his own publishing house which housed dozens of artists for many years and in various publications, including Norberto Vecchio, Walter Casadei, Jose Miguel Heredia, Victor Braxator, and Felix Sabol.

[6] The film was directed by Francisco Múgica and also stars Norma Giménez and Juan José Porta.

[citation needed] Mazzone's comic strip Mi Sobrino Capicúa (My Nephew Palindrome) appeared in Patoruzú magazine beginning in 1939.

The good-natured Palindrome, a voracious devourer of Gruyere cheese, is accompanied by his uncle and by Professor Olegario Bambufoca.
