5	Roberto Alfredo Fontanarrosa (November 26, 1944 – July 19, 2007), better known as El "Negro"[[note]]In Argentina, is pretty common to call names after physical traits of a person, and isn't usually intended to be offensive. In fact, nicknames like "Negro" (black), "Gordo" (fat), or "Flaco" (skinny) are pretty common and affectionate. See UsefulNotes/SpanishLanguage for more details.[[/note]] was an Argentinian writer and cartoonist of a long career. He was from the city of Rosario, province of Santa Fe, known mostly by his characters ''ComicBook/InodoroPereyraElRenegau'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Boogie}} Boogie el Aceitoso]]''. He was regarded by his [[AffectionateParody affectionated parodies]], his humour, his affability and his CreatorProvincialism, as his fame never changed him. He was awarded as a "Persona Destacada de la Cultura" (Honoured Person of Culture... sort of), and he has participated in many forums, as the meetings of the Third International Congress of the Spanish Language, in 2004, where he gave a humorous lecture about taboo words and the final speech.

19	!!His work has examples of these tropes:
20
21	* AffectionateParody: Inodoro Pereyra is a lazy and ugly {{Gaucho}}, loosely based on ''Martín Fierro''. He even made a [[TheCameo cameo]] of Cruz (an important character in the masterwork of Creator/JoseHernandez) in one of his firsts comic strips, but the two take different paths to avert following the original work.
22	* AnimatedAdaptation: Again, ''Literature/MartinFierro'', and ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Boogie}} Boogie El Aceitoso]]'' have their own films.
23	* ArtEvolution: He started out quite surreal, with lightly drawn lines and very few details, although the strips had a lot of action and movement, (even if it was mostly implied). He later became more detailed and expressive in his drawings, but they mostly became more static with the jokes in the strips becoming more pun based rather than graphic. In particular, Boogie and Inodoro Pereyra went sociopathic mercenary and duel having cow herding adventurer gaucho (a sort of cowboy), to mostly stoic and snarky witnesses respectively, to everyone else idiocy and lunacy.
24	* ComicBookAdaptation: A comic book adaptation of ''Literature/MartinFierro'' has been drawn by him, and adapted as a film in the year 2007.
25	%%* InNameOnly: ''WesternAnimation/{{Metegol}}''
26	%%* {{Gaucho}}: Inodoro Pereyra.
27	%%* LongRunner: ''Inodoro Pereyra'' fits this trope.
28	%%* RunningGag: Both in ''Boogie'' and ''Inodoro Pereyra''.
29	%%* PlayedForLaughs: A lot. In all his works, even in the "Serious" ones
30	%%* PsychoForHire: Boogie.
31	%%* SociopathicSoldier: Boogie again, and his cousin Ultra.
32	* StylisticSuck: his artwork wasn't very pretty, he favored the grotesque.
33	%%* TalkingAnimal: Mendieta.
34	%%* TheAce: In ''Best Seller''
35	%%* ThePampas: In ''Inodoro Pereyra'', mostly, but other works too.
