Trottolino is the title character of an humorous comics magazine.

Background[]

Trottolino was created in 1952 by Giorgio Rebuffi under the pen name "O'Layne" and was the title character of a comics magazine published between 1952 and 1990. It was the first comics magazine published by Renato Bianconi, a former collaborator of publisher Alpe; released without any marketing hype, it got an immediate commercial success and launched the career of Bianconi as a publisher.[1]

The comics magazine, similar in its digest-sized format to Topolino, featured the adventures of an anthropomorphic squirrel.[1] His sidekick in many stories was the anthropomorphic duck Papy Papero, a character created by Luciano Bottaro who was also the leading character of independent stories and later of a western-themed spin-off comic book series, Papys Bill.[1] The magazine also included comics featuring different characters created by the same Rebuffi, (who later also cured, for several decades, the stories of Trottolino), Giovan Battista Carpi, , .[1] From 1982 until the end of publications, it stopped the release of original comics and just republished old stories.[1]

Several spin-off magazines were published, notably between 1959 and 1978 Super Trottolino and between 1980 and 1983 Gran Trottolino; they substantially were collections of old stories already published in the main publication.[1]
