Recurring characters
Recurring characters
There are two main characters in the series: Anacleto and his boss. The protagonist, Anacleto, is a young man with black hair, a characteristic tuft on the bangs, and a long nose. He wears a black suit with white shirt and bow tie. He permanently has a cigarette in his mouth. The other character in the series is the Anacleto's boss. He is fat, completely bald and wears glasses. To mark the difference in status iconographically he smokes thick cigars. A recurring villain of the series is the author himself, Manuel Vázquez. Anacleto frequently has to carry out missions in deserts or high mountains (which ultimately turn out to have elevators). Another running gag of the series is that he is frequently chased by a group of sharks when he falls in the sea (or even a river or puddle).
Anacleto
Anacleto
The main character is a completely stupid spy who always has bad luck. For example, after successfully transporting a nuclear bomb to HQ, there is a fly on it. When he touches the bomb in order to kill the fly, it explodes. Also, he spends most of his missions time in the desert, often looking for someone. Then, when he returns, he realizes that his boss had ordered him to make a completely useless trip.
Boss
Boss
Although his name is not revealed in the comic, he is in every issue giving commands to Anacleto, mostly with stupid purposes such as playing chess or drinking gin. He is always angry.
