The detail on Cebolinha’s outfit may even have gone unnoticed while reading the Turma da Mônica comics, but now, you won’t fail to notice; find out why!
Turma da Mônica comics have been passed around for decades. Whether at school or during moments of fun at home, the most varied characters from Bairro do Limoeiro travel the four corners of the world and are part of the daily lives of those who love to have the company of the pages.
created by Mauricio de Sousa, these figures are unique, and have the most distinctive details. Even so, even though these have existed for over 60 years, it is possible that some characteristics go unnoticed, and among them, there is one about the boy who says ‘elado’: Cebolinha is the only one of the main group who wears shoes!
But why?
However, the reason behind this curiosity is quite simple: at the time Cebolinha was designed, the creator of Turma had much more time to think about the details and include them in his characters.
When I created Cebolinha, I still had time to draw details,” he said. mauricio in an interview with the newspaper O Globo.
It is worth remembering that the boy who only wears green was created in 1960, marking his first appearances in newspaper strips that appeared a year earlier and focused on Bidu and the scientist Franjinha. See the first time Cebolinha appeared!
And speaking of Franjinha, it is possible to notice that he also wears shoes, and the reason behind this is the same: as one of the first characters, it was possible to better detail not only the clothes, but also his hair and that of his canine friend.
the change
With this, it is clear that the time to deliver the stories was the main cause of the lack of shoes of the other characters, since, at that time, mauricio did not have a team, as revealed by the author to O Globo.
Those who were born without shoes, ended up without them, because there wasn’t enough time and I didn’t have a team like today. Now I could even draw everyone in high heels”.
Curiosity
Despite the statement, it is possible to note in a publication made on Twitter by Turma da Mônica in 2020, that Mônica, one of the characters known for walking barefoot through the Bairro do Limoeiro, appeared wearing shoes in her first appearance in 1963. Check it out!
