Sor Pampurio is an Italian comic strip series created by (1929-1978).
Background[]
Started in 1929, the comic strips were published, with some breaks, by Il Corriere dei Piccoli until 1978.[1] Every episode starts depicting Sor Pampurio ("Mr. Pampurio")'s happiness about his new house, a happiness that turns in a few frames, for a reason or another, in an increasing discontent and in a new moving at the end of any story.[2]
The comic strip received some very different critical interpretations: during the years it was accused of being an uncritical adhesion of fascist values or marked as "bourgeois comics", while on the contrary other critics considered the comics positively as a slight parody of bourgeois values, a symbolic critic to the rampant consumerism and a reflection about the inability to achieve happiness through material values.[1]
