Plot
Plot
Hermegilda and Leovigilda are two sisters of opposite characteristics Herme is brunette, plump, with her hair in a characteristic bun; Leo is tall and slim, with blond hair. Both are unsightly. Hermenegilda is innocent and goofy, and relentlessly pursues a husband, while Leovigilda, more mature, is a skeptical and bitter character, always trying to thwart her little sister. Leovigilda and Hermenegilda represent sexual frustration and repression of Spanish Francoist regime. The characters are in eternal conflict and there are plenty of slapstick style shots, as usual in the comics of Bruguera. In 1955 censorship became tougher in the comics and the adult tone of the series dropped.
