Tete Cohete is a Spanish comic character created by the artist Francisco Ibáñez. He first appeared in 1981 in the Mort & Phil album titled Tete Cohete and later in the magazine Pulgarcito.
Tete Cohete is a child who is very passionate about mechanics, cars, and engines. This hobby leads him to transform everyday objects into jet-powered vehicles, accidentally causing the director and secretary of his school to become victims of them. According to Miguel Fernández Soto, this series represents "movement taken to its ultimate consequences".[1] Meanwhile, Fernando Javier de la Cruz Pérez comments that Tete Cohete's physical appearance comes from another character by Ibáñez, Libertito Mecha, who appeared in the album Mort & Phil ¡A por el niño!. However, he affirms that the image of a mischievous child is better achieved here as Tete Cohete has longer and tousled hair, a face covered in freckles, and an outfit consisting of jeans, a jacket, and sneakers. Moreover, Tete Cohete is influenced by the novels of Mark Twain and Richmal Crompton[2]
