* Death by Racism: DeathbyRacism: Jones in Mampato in the CongoCongo
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Very common, where in his multiple trips in time and space our heroes have encountered things like slavery, racism, sexism, disproportionate punishments (Twenty lashes for stealing an apple!) , Human Sacrifice, etc, etc, in addition to a fairly anti-ecological treatment of wildlife, such as when Chilean farmers use traps to kill condors, because they steal the young of the cattle, something that real life condors, which feed on dead animals, never do.

Mampato and his caveman friend Ogu humiliate him, and that gives his workers courage to later reveal themselves and kill Jones by throwing him to the crocodiles.

* NotAllowedToGrowUp: The protagonist and his friends travel through time and space, but that does not explain how the main character is still a 9-year-old boy, although we have seen at least two different summers go by. A partial dislike is Rena, her best friend / girlfriend albina mutant telepata, who has the appearance of a 9-year-old girl in her first appearance, but in the later stories she looks somewhat older, like a 13/14 teenager years.

The basic premise goes like this: Mampato is a normal, middle-class, Chilean boy. One day, he saves an alien stranded on Earth named Xseturlzzn (or simply "Xsé"), who takes him to Xsé's home planet, Xagus. After Mampato helps him uncover the evil Mong's plan to conquer the planet, Xsé and the people of Xagus give Mong's "space-time belt" to Mampato as thanks.

''Las Aventuras de Ogú, Mampato y Rena'' ("The Adventures of Ogú, Mampato and Rena"), also known as ''Las Aventuras de Mampato'' or simply ''Mampato'', is a UsefulNotes/{{Chile}}an ComicBook series originally created by Eduardo Armstrong and Óscar Vega (also known as "Oskar"), but quickly passed over to Themo Lobos, who would write and draw it for the great majority of its run, [[MyRealDaddy giving it its signature style]]. It's one of the two most well-known and acclaimed Chilean works of the medium, the other being ComicBook/{{Condorito}}.

The basic premise goes like this: Mampato is a normal, middle-class, Chilean boy. One day, he saves an alien stranded on Earth named Xseturlzzn (or simply "Xsé"), who takes him to Zsé's home planet, Xagus. After Mampato helps him uncover the evil Mong's plan to conquer the planet, Xsé and the people of Xagus give Mong's "space-time belt" to Mampato as thanks.

And thus, lots of TimeTravel happens.

Mampato, who has a great interest in history, uses the belt to travel to various places and time periods, which include the prehistoric era, the Middle Ages, the Chilean Independence War period, and even the far-off future, with the ability to return to the exact time and period he came from allowing him to avoid suspicions from his family. Since it's more of an {{Edutainment}} series (though it ''doesn't'' mean it's realistic or [[ArtisticLicenseHistory 100% accurate]]), less focus is given to the effects of TimeTravel and more is given to the places, and characters Mampato meets along the way (which range from historical figures to original characters, with characters from myth here and there, such as King Arthur).

Recurrent characters include:

* [[{{Deuteragonist}} Ogú]], a caveman (or, as he indentifies himself, a "Golagola") with a love for [[BigEater food]] and [[BloodKnight fights]] who meets and befriends Mampato in the first issue made by Themo Lobos, ''Kilikilis and Golagolas''. Mampato would often travel to the prehistoric era first to pick Ogú up before going with him to the time period of the story, much to the caveman's joy.
* [[TheChick Rena]], a 9-year-old mutant girl from the 40th century with [[{{Telepathy}} mind-reading]] powers, and Mampato's love interest.

The comic ran for the entire duration of the Chilean magazine ''Mampato''; that is, from 1968 to 1978; political tensions in the country affected the comics industry, forcing the magazine to be CutShort. Lobos would fund a new magazine in 1986 called ''Cucalón'', which collected all the works made by him until that moment (including ''Mampato''), finishing its run in 1993.

While the comic will likely never be recontinued (as all the creators involved have passed away), it has been republished several times. In 2002, it received an [[TheFilmOfTheBook animated film adaptation]], ''Ogú and Mampato in Rapa Nui'' (based on the seventh book ''Mata-ki-te-rangui'' [[note]]The reason for this particular book to be chosen being that it was set in the world-renowned Easter Island, [[SmallReferencePools pretty much the only Chilean place the rest of the world knows]].[[/note]]). The movie is considered the first "modern" Chilean animated film (the first being ''La Transmisión del Mando Presidencial'', made in ''1921'').

An animated series is in the works, going under the name ''Las Aventuras de Mampato'', produced by Animenta with support from Ada Lobos, Themo Lobos's daughter.

----

!!''Mampato'' contains examples of:

* AfterTheEnd: The 40th century. Nuclear war has turned major cities such as New York into wastelands. The remaining inhabitants mutated and segregated to form separate tribes [[PlanetOfHats with a particular mutation as a characteristic]]. [[spoiler:It turns out that South America and Australia aren't as affected, with the humans there mutating in a more positive way, even managing to build a futuristic utopia.]]
* AllMythsAreTrue: Magic, as well as mythical creatures of various origins, can make an appearance depending of the setting. For example, ''Bromisnar de Bagdad'' features genii, while ''La Corte del Rey Arturo'' and ''Morgana la Hechicera'' (both set in King Arthur's time) features giants, wizards, and fairies, among other things.
* ArtEvolution: Before Themo Lobos took over and gave him his iconic design, Mampato looked a lot like ComicStrip/DennisTheMenaceUS.
* BadFuture: The 40th century (see AfterTheEnd above). Mampato breaks down in tears.
* BattleCry: "'''AKARRRRRRÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚ!!!'''"
* BigEater: Ogú.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: {{Evil Sorcere|r}}ss Morgana tries to kill Mampato by doing this to Ogú.
* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: [[spoiler:At the end of ''La Rebelión de los Mutantes'', Rena agrees to marry Mampato in her century once they're both older. Mampato is overjoyed.]]
* ContemporaryCaveman: Ogú. While he still lives in his original time period, Mampato often comes to pick him up to go to another time period.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: ''Rena en el Siglo 40'' has Mampato trying to help Rena find her people, who are sending her telepathic messages, by travelling through North America to the south. [[spoiler:After they finally get there, the people point out that ''he could have used his space-time belt all along'', the stupidity of which is Lampshaded by Mampato himself. Turns out he had forgotten about it.]]
* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: In the ''Mata-ki-te-rangui'' story, Mampato travels to Easter Island (naturally, since it's a Chilean location).
* FieldTripToThePast: [[OncePerEpisode The premise]]. [[WordOfGod Themo Lobos's]] intention was always to let kids learn about history in a fun way.
* {{Hulkspeak}}[=/=]YouNoTakeCandle: Ogú learns just enough Spanish to be able to communicate with Mampato as possible for a caveman, and so he talks with a variation of this (for example, he calls Mampato "Mampatú" [[note]]Something like "Mam-pah-too"[[/note]]). WordOfGod describes the way Ogú's speech is written as a mix between child speak (containing frequent grammar mistakes) and phonetic writing (all consonants that make the same sounds in Spanish are written the same [[note]]"C"s are changed to "K"s, for example[[/note]]).
* GrievousHarmWithABody:
** At one point, when Mampato and Ogú travel to TheMiddleAges, Ogú (who was drunk at the time) knocks out an enemy soldier, then drags him around like a weapon, and uses him as such. Later, after he sobers up, he realizes what he's been carrying and simply tosses him into the air as he leaves.
** One book later, he wacks a druid on the head with the dead rabbit he just hunted.
* KidHero: Mampato.
* LimitedWardrobe: Mampato sure has a lot of red T-shirts. Pretty convenient to hide suspicions from his family, as he has returned more than once with his clothes dirtied or torn-up.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Mampato's name is actually Patricio. "Mampato" comes from a pun on his short stature, with "Pato" is the nickname usually given to the name Patricio, and "mampato" being Chilean slang for ponies.
* {{Mysterious|Waif}}[=/=]MysticalWaif: Rena, complete with MysticalWhiteHair.
* PowerTrio: Take a guess. However, most of Mampato's adventures only involved Mampato and Ogú (to the point that the series is referred sometimes as ''Ogú y Mampato''), and some only involved Mampato and Rena. Rena and Ogú wouldn't actually meet until ''El Árbol Gigante''[=/=]''La Rebelión de los Mutantes'' (the book version being a two-parter).
* RedHeadedHero: Mampato.
* ScreamingWarrior: Ogú. See BattleCry above.
* SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic: "Fantastic".
* StableTimeLoop: While Mampato meets and befriends several historical figures from the past, Mampato's actions don't seem to cause changes in current history, so this seems to be the case for this trope.
* {{Telepathy}}: Rena. However, she has learned enough manners to not read other people's private thoughts (much to Mampato's relief).
* TimeTravel
