Anita Diminuta is a Spanish comics character created in 1941 by Jesús Blasco for the feminine magazine Mis Chicas, where it held the forefront throughout the decade. In the story's creation, his brothers also collaborated, constituting the Factoría Blasco.
In 1974, the comic strip was published in a book. Also, a doll based in the character was released.
Blasco debuted in 1935 in the Spanish magazine Mickey, at the age of fifteen.[3] For the magazine Boliche, however, he created the series and character named Cuto (Cutter). Originally a strip in the vein of Percy Crosby's Skippy, the character became a globe trotting and time-travelling boy adventurer, casually handling firearms and hot wiring sports cars, and romancing adult women.
Blasco's art veered from cute animal cartoons to the shadow play realism of Milton Caniff and Noel Sickles. He created strips for various audiences, and in 1941, he started working on Anita Diminuta, a girl strip.
