The comic before this one was pretty much impossible to translate to spanish (the character is also called Dumbo in spanish, but that carries zero meaning), so I figured next I would make a comic about something dear and near to spanish-speaking readers.

It says mexican in the comic, but the song is actually sung in many spanish-speaking countries, and according to some sources it originated in Chile. I doubted it was even known outside the north, but it seems widely known, with different lyrics here and there. None of the versions fix the fact that the doll is made out of cardboard or cotton, which are terrible choices when teaching about washing.

Cheers!
