Bug-a-Booo

Not to be confused with Bug a Boo.

Bug-a-Booo ("Turma do Penadinho") is a Brazilian comic strip, created in 1963 and part of the Monica's Gang series. All of the characters are monsters or other supernatural creatures, none of them being a human being. The main location for their stories is a cemetery. However, their stories are not intended to be scary, actually they are sometimes classified as “Terrir”, which is a Portmanteau[1] of the Portuguese words "Terror" (horror) and "Rir" (to laugh). On some of their stories, they have to deal with the fact that vampires, ghosts, zombies and mummies are no longer appreciated as characters of horror films. People instead are opting for assassins, psychopaths, serial killers, etc.[1]
