At his side, there's the porter's lodge with its gossiping porter. Senén, a distrustful and stingy man who's always cheating on his clients with the weight and genuineness of his merchandise (though sometimes he does get his comeuppance). In the ground, there's a grocery run by Mr. In the first floor dwell an incompetent veterinarian with an equally impossible clientele, and an overcrowded guesthouse run by a stingy woman.
In the second floor there lives an elderly woman that's always having trouble with the animals she buys or adopts (usually dogs, but she also had others, including a whale), and a hopeless tailor with a lot of nerve (before this, a crazy scientist lived there with his monster, in an obvious parody of the monster of Frankenstein).
Next door, there are a family with three mischievous young boys. The third floor is inhabited by a clumsy thief who's always stealing useless things and his long-suffering wife. The debtor is inspired by Manuel Vázquez Gallego, another Bruguera cartoonist who also drew a self-parodic character. The flat roof is inhabited by a debtor that is always imagining ingenious ways to evade his creditors, and by a poor black cat that is always been tortured by a cruelly ingenious mouse. Usually each panel is not related to the others and can be read in any order, but sometimes an event affects more than one neighbor, and read in order the comic effect is more pronounced. Each apartment is a panel in itself, with fixed characters with defined personalities. The last strip was published in 1984.ġ3, Rue del Percebe is a single panel that takes up the whole page that represents a humorous view of a building and the people who inhabits it. 13, Rue del Percebe (13, Barnacle Street) is a Spanish comic book created by Francisco Ibáñez that debuted in the pages of Tío Vivo magazine on March 6, 1961, and quickly became highly popular.
