Cocco Bill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cocco Bill is an Italian comics character by Benito

Jacovitti. He is the star of a parody Western comic set
in hypothetical places in the Far West. He is a
hot-tempered gunslinger who drinks chamomile tea.
Occasionally mocked for this, Bill responds with
violence. Despite these outbursts, Cocco Bill is a
good guy, and always helps sheriffs to capture
criminals.[1] After Jacovitti's death in 1997 the series
was continued by Luca Salvagno.

Cocco Bill

Cocco Bill's horse is called Trottalemme (which

literally means "trot slowly"). The animal reasons like
humans, smokes cigarettes, drinks tequila and also
dreams at night.

bones (typically close to the artist's signature), as well as horses with only two legs ridden by a man with
four legs, and other absurdities.
