I would like to integrate fun and interesting volume of Alfredo Castelli with other 'comic invention "and the like. In bold
categories in which I quote single signal and the reference page of the original text.
monographic episodes today.
Among the comics I keep since I was a child there is one very special. This is a forgotten episode of the series and Beppe Puppy, born as anthropomorphic animals competing Mickey referred were indeed a bit 'semantic seen a cast that reproduced the pair-wise cap (Mouse-Puppy) and beanpole- goggle (Pippo-Beppe).
Over time the providential character underwent a substantial change them completely humanized and events that brought them to live more connected to reality Italian than they were ones Disney.
The episode in question should have appeared on 'Almanac puppy of 1963, I say "should" because as you can see from the photograph beside my copy is in such can be dated, lacking cover and back. Thanks to this interesting site , one of the few dedicated to the work of Rebuffi, I managed to go back to the first publication of the story but I'm not sure that that is actually in my possession a copy of the 'Almanac of Puppy as the paper is kept too good for all those years and there is no trace of that "weird horizontal layout [which] compels the audience to a continuous rotary motion and challenging reading" of which mention is made in the reference site. This is probably a reprint of the 70s or early 80s. The newspaper in my possession in fact collect stories of styles and (I imagine) several times and has 80 numbered pages 3 to 82, a foliation quite generous and devoted to collections and reprints.
passed into history, then.

Confusionifero in The Almanac of Cub 1963
unidentified authors (George Rebuffi?)
If it were not for the year of publication of the story you could easily think that the author or authors (George Rebuffi?) They had designed, inspired by lysergic suggestions.
Duke Cattiverius Flintheart de 'Malvagibus, true to its name, decided to combine a badness absolutely free and without ulterior motives, dictated only by his hatred of the young people who are having fun with "illustrated magazines". I do not know whether this is a recurring character or specially created for this story.
With a tool created by Professor Tópico Fulginazio and baptized confusionifero will bring havoc to the world of comics taking away the smile from the face of children who read them. Touch of genius, the confusionifero also has a monitor with which the bad guys (and we with them) can see the results of their misdeeds.
the first to notice that something is wrong they are puppies and Beppe, and for the nine pages later we will see any kind of metalinguistic found. First, the focus is on the drive significant minimum of a board, or the picture, then have fun putting on their knees the overall structure of the tables and gradually introducing elements even more alienating and totally divorced from the story itself. "But Cavalier Galbraith, what does? Go through that hole? "Asks a character totally alien to each other to another who is about to cross a "tear" on the "Yes! They are the usual kind of way that is in the background of squares ... and wants to pass through the hole? "And we're just on page 7 of the 12 making up the story (at least in the version I have).
Following the intervention of the wrong word balloon: "What a disgrace! I, the famous comic character stories, I made a vulgar comic adventure stories ... what an abomination! What shame, "says Beppe before entertaining the idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide to wash the disgrace. To make her not so much about the involvement of Young curiosity as to why speak in French, in fact, now even his partner is being "interference" in his case by French comics (touch of class, even the lettering is different)!
All the background while a mummy thinks perplexed: "I am the mummy of Ramses I wonder what the hell am I doing here!"
The story continues with further interference with the arrival of other characters from the publisher Alpe ( The Confusionifero is indeed also a smart parade of "publishing offers" of publisher's catalog) and some other brilliant metafumettistica found, like the shadow that is detached from a character because it portrayed "off" in the previous vignette.
Puppy, Beppe and company are helpless and can not do anything but watch the gradual deterioration of the communication codes of their comic or at least get some temporary patch (Tiramolla makes a rapid onset and reconstructs a sticker with his body extending between the triumph of other characters - indeed Tiramolla was the star of Alpe home) and at the end of the story is resolved for the better only because the crack of the Duke has forgotten part of the same comics that would ruin the last cartoon page 11 the line starts to break down then precipitated by these "loving sirs' in a long vertical vignettona bottomless on page 12, while the confusionifero shatters.
"The order comes back to reign!" Shouted jubilantly Beppe after witnessing the fall of the bad guys from the privileged side of the cartoons, but not all's well that ends well ... In fact, the order requires the newly reconstituted history a standard length and an end, according to the canons of the register in which it appears, so poor Bombarda annoyed because in the last cartoon protest the word "end" will prevent him from going to collect a bill!
Confusionifero The story is fracassone anarchic, almost surreal in its continued accumulation of foreign elements combined with each other, which might perplex a child while not depriving him of the fun. The hard work of desecration of comic conventions ends right at the end to reveal and emphasize the importance, while showing the power of the perpetrators as well as their imagination unleashed.
