Under the warm lights of a television studio, Roberto Gómez Bolaños adjusts his baseball cap with a knowing smile. 'I am Roberto, though the world knows me as Chespirito,' he explains in a gentle voice. 'I wrote small plays, like a Shakespeare in miniature.' Between quiet laughs, he mentions his characters: Chavo, Chapulín Colorado, and Doctor Chapatín. 'Don't be startled,' he adds, tapping his temple. 'They all live right in here, in my endless imagination.'
