A man holds a poster with a picture of “El Chavo del Ocho”, a character created by screenwriter Roberto Gomez Bolanos, as he waits to enter the Azteca stadium for a mass in memory of Gomez Bolanos in Mexico City November 30, 2014. Mexican actor and screenwriter Roberto Gomez Bolanos, one of Latin America’s most beloved comedians, whose slapstick acts charmed fans from Spain to Argentina for over four decades, died on Friday at the age 85. Known as “Chespirito,” a word play on ‘Little Shakespeare’ for his diminutive stature and his prolific scripts, Gomez Bolanos created some of the region’s most enduring comic characters. The placard reads: ‘we will miss you forever’. REUTERS/Tomas Bravo (MEXICO – Tags: SOCIETY ENTERTAINMENT OBITUARY)
