   "Bochorno" (Memín) / dibujo, Sixto Valencia ; argumento de
   Yolanda V. Dulché. 32 p. in Memín, no. 18 (1983). --
   SUMMARY: It's summer vacation time. Ricardo, Ernestillo,
   Carlangas and Memín become newsboys. Memín is very good at
   it, and sells his whole day's supply of papers and
   magazines in half an hour. He sells the newspapers by
   shouting that an atomic bomb has landed in the city park,
   and he sells his "Doctora Corazon" magazines to people who
   look like they're having trouble in their love lives.
   Carlos and Ernesto have average success, while Ricardo only
   sells one paper, to a friend of his father's. Memín is soon
   in trouble with his friends and his mother for lying to
   sell papers. Memín is grounded and has to help his mother
   with the laundry until further notice. Ricardo is also in
   trouble with his mother, who finds it an embarrassment that
   her son should be hawking papers on the street. Though
   Ricardo had his father's consent and approval to try the
   job, his father finally advises that he'd better quit to
   spare his mother's feelings, especially since she threatens
   to divorce her husband if he doesn't back her up. The
   parents of Ernesto and Carlos are happy for the extra
   money. Carlos's mother says that when he finishes school
   she's arranged an internship for him. One morning Carlos is
   running across the street and gets hit by a car. -- Call

   himself out of the cistern, sinks to the bottom, and
   drowns. Carlos pulls him out, and he seems dead, but he's
   not, quite. The teacher hears the commotion, takes Ricardo
   to the school doctor, and covers for the boys with the
   administration. At home Ricardo's mother insists that they
   move him to a new school. In a private talk with his father
   Ricardo explains everything, says he deserved his
   punishment, and wants to stay in the public school. The
   father understands because he wasn't always rich, and makes
   up a story to calm his wife. Things go better at school
   among the boys, and after a few days Ricardo dismisses his
   chauffeur so he can play baseball in an alley. Since it's a
   dirty place Ricardo takes his shoes off, and Memín guards
   them. Some bigger boys come along and want to use the area
   for their own game, and a fistfight starts. During the
   confusion a thief picks up Ricardo's shoes. -- Call no.:

   parents are sympathetic once they've heard the whole story,
   however. Ricardo's mother is frantic and fainting, and his
   father beats him savagely with his belt, but after an
   explanation the father is proud of his son. He asks Ricardo
   not to tell his mother about the beating, and Ricardo
   agrees. Memín's mother sends him out for milk, and he sees
   pictures of Carlos and his mother in the newspaper. Carlos
   has been arrested for murder, and sent to the house of
   correction.  Everyone's first thought is that Ricardo's
   father might be able to help Carlos, but that seems not to
   be the case. The boys decide to ask their teacher. -- Call

   to whip Memín. Memín jumps out the window and hides on the
   school grounds. He hears two women talking about a ghost
   sighting around the school, and with a sheet and some

   visits Carlos's mother at the Red Cross hospital and brings
   her up to date on her son's situation. Carlos's mother
   brings up the fact that Carlos's father is rich and
   powerful. Since he has never taken the trouble to even ask

   SUMMARY: Carlos, Ricardo and Ernesto eat in a Chinese
   restaurant. Memín goes home to get some maracas, figuring
   that no cabaret will let them in because they are so young.
   Memín plans to pretend they are musicians. The white boys
   sing, however badly, and Memín holds it together with his
   natural rhythm. Meanwhile, Carlos's mother Isabel
   ("Chabela") is in a tough underworld cabaret talking about
   how she hates her life and how her husband abandoned her
   when he got rich, though Carlos doesn't know this.
   Eventually the four friends arrive at the same
   establishment and find Chabela fighting off a drunk
   customer. The man hits her and Carlos wades in, knocking
   him down. The man pulls a gun and tries to shoot Carlos,
   but Isabel gets between them and is shot. Carlos throws a
   bottle and apparently kills the man. Isabel is not badly
   hurt and tells her son to run before the police get there.
