The comic is a spoof on historical conquerors, and has been reviewed in the Mexican newspaper *[Reforma](/source/Reforma_(newspaper))*,[1] in an article of the [student newspaper](/source/Student_newspaper) *8/ochenta* of the [Universidad Iberoamericana](/source/Universidad_Iberoamericana), in an article in the online magazine *TVA*,[2] and in nationwide magazine *[Emeequis](/source/Emeequis)*.[3] It was also listed as an example of a webcomic in the weekly magazine *[Milenio](/source/Milenio)*. *Hitlercito* has recently been published in the magazine *[Replicante](/source/Replicante)*[4] and the comic strip magazine *¡#$%&! Cómics* from [Monterrey](/source/Monterrey). ## History *Hitlercito* was first published online in October 2005,[5] but was dropped by the authors after a couple of months. The project was restarted in January 2008. After a couple of months, the authors began another webcomic, *Perro, gato y ardilla.* In May 2008 *Hitlercito* began appearing regularly in the bimonthly publication *[Replicante](/source/Replicante)*. ## Content The main character is Hitlercito, a small version of Hitler obsessed with world domination. His lack of success has been a constant in the story. The strip draws heavily on historical jokes and [anachronisms](/source/Anachronism). The other main characters are Napoleon and Julius Caesar. At different times, they may be supportive or competitive, depending on the [story line](/source/Plot_(narrative)). Many strips are based on historical facts, but *Hitlercito* also deals with modern-day issues such as [Windows Vista](/source/Windows_Vista) criticism, [outsourcing](/source/Outsourcing), and [casual dressing](/source/Casual_dressing) at work. In addition, the title of almost every strip is written in an academic style, in a manner reminiscent of [Genshiken](/source/Genshiken). In some of the titles, references are made to [political science](/source/Political_science), [philosophy](/source/Philosophy), and other subjects with themes such as [game theory](/source/Game_theory), [Max Weber](/source/Max_Weber), [Nicomachean Ethics](/source/Nicomachean_Ethics), the [Lebenswelt](/source/Lebenswelt), and Latin [mottos](/source/Motto). Although [World War II](/source/World_War_II) is mentioned, due to the light humor tone of the strip there are no references to Hitler's [racist](/source/Racist) ideology or to the Nazi [holocaust](/source/Holocaust). ## Characters *Hitlercito'*s characters are mainly historical. This is a complete list. ### Main characters **Hitlercito** is spoof of Adolf Hitler. Although there are many similarities between him and the historical [Hitler](/source/Hitler), it is more accurate to consider him a [construct](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/construct). The character behaves in an extremely dignified manner which contrasts with his lack of success and his failure in obtaining respect from his peers. **Julius Caesar** is based on the Roman general and [dictator](/source/Julius_Caesar), and serves as the comic relief. He frequently misunderstands the situations, and keeps a cheerful mood even when inappropriate. **Napoleon** hasn't spoken yet, instead keeping a quiet and noble attitude. ### Secondary Characters **Alexander the Great** was found in Egypt by the main characters, and is vain and successful. His continuous mentioning of efficiency and productivity are examples of [office humor](/source/Office_humor). **Cleopatra** made some appearances while the characters were on Egypt. She is portrayed as bad tempered and capricious, particularly with Julius Caesar, with whom she has a relationship. **Chicken** was originally used as a phony opponent by Hitlercito in a debate. His plan failed when the chicken won the debate without speaking. The chicken began gaining power in an unexpected way, in a similar way than the [Animaniacs](/source/Animaniacs)' character Chicken Boo. ### Minor characters When the main characters go to what seems to be an expensive restaurant, a ceremonious waiter serves them. Cameo appearances include the fox from [the Little Prince](/source/The_Little_Prince) (confused with the [Desert Fox](/source/Erwin_Rommel)), and [Prince Charles](/source/Prince_Charles). ## Notes 1.
