6	One of the most long-running, famous and beloved comic strips in Argentina, ''Inodoro Pereyra'' was created by [[Creator/RobertoFontanarrosa el Negro Fontanarrosa]] as an AffectionateParody of ''Literature/MartinFierro''.
7
8	The comic is about the life of a lonely, lazy and ugly Argentinian {{gaucho}} living in the Argentinian Pampa with his talking dog and ugly wife. The character introduces himself saying: "I'm Pereyra by my Mom, and Inodoro (meaning ‘toilet’, used ironically due to his father's profession) because my Dad was a sewage worker."

10	----
11	!!This work shows examples of these tropes:
12
13	%%* ArtEvolution
14	* AffectionateParody: Inodoro Pereyra is a lazy and ugly {{Gaucho}}, loosely based on Martín Fierro. Cruz, an important character in the masterwork of Creator/JoseHernandez, even made a [[TheCameo cameo]] in one of his first comic strips, but the two works take different paths and Inodoro Pereyra averts following the original work.
15	* CharacterCatchphrase: "¡Qué lo parió!" for Mendieta.
16	%%* CattleBaron: More than a few, parodied.
17	%%* CluelessDeputy: All of them in the strip
18	%%* ForgottenAesop: All the time.
19	%%* {{Gaucho}}: Played straight and parodied
20	%%* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Yes, even in the empty, boring Pampas.
21	%%* IdiotBall: The vast majority of the conversations with the Indians
22	%%* JapaneseTourist: A variation of the Hawaiian type.
23	* LaboriousLaziness: Inodoro hasn't a known job. And his "business", according to himself, is the monocultive of parsley... in ThePampas grasslands.
24	* LongRunners: Has been running consistently since 1972.
25	* MeaningfulName: Inodoro (Toilet), calling to mind his general unattractiveness.
26	* NonHumanSidekick: Mendieta, Inodoro's permanently-transformed ''lobizón'', frequently appears alongside him for conversations and drinks.
27	%%* ThePampas
28	* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: Mendieta is a dog, but he converses and drinks mate with Inodoro. That's due to Mendieta being a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luison ''lobizón'']], a man which transformed into a dog on the full moon. Unfortunately, he turned into a ''lobizón'' during a moon eclipse, and remained transformed into a dog (''emperráu''), but with the ability to speak nonetheless.
29	* PollyWantsAMicrophone: A hostile flock of parrots usually speaks with Mendieta and insult him. They also engage in very elaborated pranks to put Inodoro in ridiculous situations. Not even the (usually astute) Mendieta is able to prevent the pranks from happening. (Or, one suspects, he secretly enjoys them but keeps silent about it.)
30	%%* PlayedForLaughs: A lot.
31	* ShapeshifterModeLock: Mendieta is a ''lobizón'', a human who turns into a dog at the full moon, but he remains permanently a dog due to transforming during a lunar eclipse.
32	%%* UglyGuyHotWife: Initially played straight, but quickly averted.
