Cocco Bill is a formidable gunslinger and in juggling the two guns he manages to do truly amazing things. Contrary to the classic cowboys who drink whiskey, Cocco Bill is a great guzzler of ... chamomile! Punctually, when he enters some saloon and orders a cup of that drink, there is always a cowboy on duty who laughs out loud and teases him, but the unfortunate does not know what awaits him and soon he will end up being slapped or punched. by Cocco Bill. Cocco Bill's inseparable steed is Trottalemme, a very nice white horse who thinks and reasons like a human being. Instead of the classic rope tied to the saddle, he has a drawing square and we often find him smoking a few cigarettes. But we know that where there is a hero there is also a woman to be saved and in the case of the adventures of Cocco Bill, the girl on duty is called Osusanna Ailoviù who is always saved from the clutches of some group of bandits. Miss Osusanna is in love with Cocco Bill, but unfortunately our hero at the wedding, prefers to continue galloping the green prairies with his Trottalemme. As in all the stories of the magical Jacobite world, even in the drawings of Cocco Bill we find salami, fish bones (did you know that this is Jacovitti's pseudonym?), Pencils sticking out of the ground, vermicelli with a lot of hat, fingers , bees or strange insects, which help to give a humorous edge to the character. Despite all the Far West of Cocco Bill respects all the canons of the classic frontier tales: we find the Indians, generally great funny guys, like the Ciriuacchi, who speak a strange half Indian and half Neapolitan dialector like the Barefoot Feet, which are such because, the bad guy on duty stole his moccasins. Then there are the inevitable bandits who punctually end up dead, among these we remember Bunz Barabunz, the evil mayor of Chattanuga Chu Chu and the Kuknass Brothers, seven gunslingers each dressed in a different color. There is no shortage of American soldiers and Southerners who speak our southern dialect or the classic assaults on stagecoaches or herds of oxen and bison.
