El Sapo Pepe $PEPE: The First Pepe That Inspired Matt Furie’s Pepe

General

El
Sapo
Pepe
is
a
beloved
cultural
icon
in
Argentina.
This
charming
character,
accompanied
by
the
famous
song
“El
Sapo
Pepe”
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMl0GbiVEyA
–
over
800
million
views),
has
been
cherished
by
generations.
With
its
catchy
lyrics—*”It
has
no
tail,
and
it’s
colored
green,
it
jumps
round
and
around
the
yard”—*the
song
became
a
staple
of
childhood
for
many
Argentinians.

The
Creator:
Analía
García

The
creator
behind
this
iconic
character
is
Analía
García.
In
1988,
El
Sapo
Pepe
was
introduced
on
Carlitos
Balá’s
show,
where
it
played
the
role
of
a
toad
that
gave
gifts
to
children.
García
drew
inspiration
from
the
toads
in
her
garden,
reimagining
them
to
challenge
the
negative
stereotypes
often
associated
with
these
creatures
in
children’s
stories.
Her
goal
was
to
present
a
friendly,
approachable
toad
that
children
could
love.
The
accompanying
song,
with
its
playful
rhythm
and
cheerful
vibe,
became
an
instant
hit.

A
Symbol
of
Nostalgia
and
Joy

Today,
El
Sapo
Pepe
remains
a
cherished
symbol
of
joy
and
nostalgia
in
Argentina.
Through
the
efforts
of
García’s
daughter
and
the
continued
success
of
the
stage
show “El
Sapo
Pepe
y
Las
Pepas”
(view
here),
the
character
has
adapted
to
modern
times
while
preserving
its
positive
message
and
original
charm.

The
Controversy:
Did
“Pepe
the
Frog”
Derive
from
El
Sapo
Pepe?

El
Sapo
Pepe
was
created
in
1988
in
Argentina.
Its
name,
when
translated
from
Spanish,
means
Pepe
the
Toad
(El
Sapo
=
The
Toad)
→
El
Sapo
Pepe
=
Pepe
The
Toad.

Meanwhile,
Matt
Furie’s
Pepe
the
Frog,
introduced
in
2005,
shares
striking
similarities
with
El
Sapo
Pepe.
Both
are
green,
tailless
amphibians,
and
Furie’s
Pepe
seems
to
echo
the
description
from
the
El
Sapo
Pepe
song:
“It
has
no
tail,
and
it’s
colored
green,
it
jumps
round
and
around
the
yard.”

Could
this
be
a
coincidence?
We
think
not.
The
traits
of
Pepe
the
Frog
strongly
resemble
those
of
Analía
García’s
creation,
suggesting
that
Furie
may
have
drawn
uncredited
inspiration
from
El
Sapo
Pepe.

Let’s
bring
justice
and
rightful
recognition
to
El
Sapo
Pepe—the
true
original
Pepe!
