The strip’s main protagonist is a sexy, well meaning and naïve (but not stupid) 22-year old blonde girl nicknamed “Palomita” (Little Dove) and revolved around her daily escapades involving her liberal lifestyle and the troubles it used to cause her at her job, or with her relationship with boyfriends, lovers and neighbors alike, as she liked to practice free love and nudism, while her natural naivety used to get the best out of her half of time.

* HypocriticalHumor: The strip loved to use this trope: Palomita constantly raged over men stalking, harrasing, spying on her or tricking her into undressing or having sex with them, but Palomita herself was fond of doing all of that and more to any men she considered attractive enough. To make things even more similar, just as Palomita used to deliver a deserved beatdown to especially annoying men, she also received her fair share of karmic beatdowns from some irate spouses or girlfriends.

The co-protagonist was Palomita’s skinny guardian dog, named “Platón” (Plato) who’s comments and reactions to his owner’s lifestyle made the core for the strip’s punchlines. Platón also used to take over the comic strip every Saturday , while his master’s adventures were displayed in the “Hachita y Cuarta” supplement. His solo strips gave him a cat partner, where both animals commented the country’s current issues and gossips.
