Marsuipilami

====Marsupilami, a fictional comic book character, that was created by Andre Franquin. The comic was made in Brussels, Belgium in 1952**.** The comic was first published on January 31, 1952 in the magazine Spirou. Marsupilami eventually earned its own popular comic book series called,“Spirou et Fantasia." The comic was very successful and kids loved it everywhere. The comic came in a lot of languages. Then, in 1968, Franquin stopped working on the series and dropped the character. In the late 1980’s, Marsupilami was granted its own spin off series, the series was written by Gregg, Yann, and Dugomier and they called it,”Marupilami." ==== ====The Marsupilami is a black-spotted yellow monkey-like creature. Some could say that he looks like a tiger mixed with a monkey because of his long hair and color. On the rear end of Marsupilami (if its a male) is a long, strong and flexible tail that it uses for almost all activities. A female's tail is much shorter than the male Marsupilami. Some translaters use the word “spiral” over “marsupilami” because of the way they use their tail to attack. The marsupilami would clench its tail into a fist and twist the rest of the tail to give the fist, faster momentum. According to the L'Encyclopédie du Marsupilami, they are monotremes. This explains why the females lay eggs while still having features of a mammal. A real life example of a monotreme is a platypus.==== ====Marsupilami really impacted the children in Belgium because it was a fictional character that they can have fun with and everyone in there family can watch it. It brings a good feel to people when they watch it and makes everyone laugh. People would wake up early to watch the episodes of Marsupilami because they laughed and loved the series. ====
