Comics+Música: Rarotonga / Café Tacuba

Rarotonga. Canción por el grupo Mexicano Café Tacuba del albúm del mismo nombre de 1992(Rarotonga is the name of a Pacific island, but the song is about a female jungle-dwelling character in a comic book by Antonio Gutierrez)

RAROTONGA Rarotonga era el personaje principal de un comic del mismo nombre, creación de Antonio Gutierrez, un gran dibujante mexicano. Rarotonga era una mujer morena que vivía en la selva, reina de la isla del mismo nombre [en la realidad la Isla de Rarotonga es parte de las Islas Fiji, al este de Australia cerca del trópico de Capricornio]. Rarotonga se vestia con una especie de capa en la parte de arriba y una tanga con pañuelos abajo muy cortos (ver imagen), era una mujer muy bella y "escultural", voluptuosa, de ojos verdes, usaba un peinado afro, enchinado y no muy largo, por cierto, después a ese peinado se le llamo a la "rarotonga" y se popularizo en México entre las jóvenes sesenteras y setenteras. Rarotonga se dedicaba básicamente a bailar (al ser la reina no tenia que trabajar) y a enamorar con su gran bellezaa los expedicionarios que visitaban la isla. Esta revista aparecía en los puestos de revistas todos los martes, por esta razón aparecía constantemente en la contraportada de otras revistas, diciendo la frase: "Hazme tuya cada martes!". Este comic desapareció alrededor de los años 68 o 69.
