Today is a sad day in Mexico. A comedy legend passed away
Roberto Gómez Bolaños also known as "Chespirito" had passed away moments ago (I would say just passed away). He was mostly known for being the creator and principal actor on his television program "El Chavo del Ocho" in the seventies.
The series was a sweet and funny collection of stories about a kid who lives in a barrel in a poor neighborhood. All the episodes had grown-up actors who represent kids and adults. Episodes are still being broadcast on some "retro" channels here in Mexico and in other countries.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's always a sad day when we lose people we care about.
