"ᑕᗩᑎ TI ᑎᖴᒪ OᗯEᖇᔕ"

🌸 The collage on this occasion is found in the center of the painting and is made up of a piece of rope partially delimiting its silhouette and a flower. Both refer to the character played by the comedian: the string, being red, refers to the humble and popular hues of Cantinflas' origins. Being a rope, it refers to the one our hero used as a belt. Likewise, it also suggests that this, in his speeches, "had rope" for a while. The flower also indicates "the flowers" that this beloved subject released from his mouth. It is made up of textile petals, natural petals and magazine paper ... so that your eyes can revisit it again; )

🚬 I highlighted with latex the wavy ornament that decorates the bowl located on the lit cigar, giving it shine and relief. In this way, its texture allows the game to appreciate it as if it were the cigarette smoke itself. Mario Moreno was a heavy smoker, in fact it was lung cancer that took him away. He got to smoke three packets of tobacco daily.

Fort Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes was the sixth of fourteen siblings, of whom eight survived childbirth.

🤠 He dedicated himself to various jobs, he was an assistant shoemaker, and later he was promoted to "bolero" (shoe shine), "errand boy", postman, taxi driver, billiard clerk, boxer and even bullfighter. At the beginning of 1928 he enlisted in the Mexican army as an infantryman with studies in typology, but his father requested his discharge for having lied about his age: he was 16 years old instead of the 21 he alleged.

Ba He said that the nickname “Cantinflas” was born in Parque Juárez, in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, where he performed a variety of acts in rolling tents and that it was invented in order to prevent his parents from learning that he was working in the entertainment business, which they considered a shameful occupation

🤠 But the urban legend that relates another origin of this well-known nickname lives on. Mexican essayist Carlos Monsiváis relates it this way:

🤠 “(…) Young Mario Moreno, intimidated by stage fright, once in the Ofelia tent, forgot his original monologue. He began to say the first thing that comes to mind in a complete emancipation of words and phrases and what comes out is a brilliant incoherence. The assistants attack him with the syntax and he realizes: fate has put in his hands the distinctive feature, the style that is the manipulation of chaos. Weeks later, the name that will mark the invention is invented. Someone, annoyed by the nonsense phrases shouts: "How much you inflate" or "in the canteen you inflate", the contraction is created and becomes the proof of the baptism that the character needs ".

🤠 But, according to the actor's nephew, this theory is an invention of the people, which caused the interpreter to laugh. In addition, he states that the name was the actor's own creation and that his true origin took him with him to the grave.
