Re: Whoops, sorry about the delay!
Date: 2011-02-23 07:30 am (UTC)It gets better - the way they got separated in the first place was when a strong crosswind caused the other two to do a highdive into the sea. So Panchito isn't just unworried about their surviving the train crash; he just cheerfully assumed that yes, of COURSE they survived, no worries, and then went and found a nice spot to take a nap while they caught up with him. So either he's incredibly optimistic or incredibly lazy, or both.
And yeah, they're kinda caricatured, but remember, this was the '40's. By the standards of the time, this was a pretty benign depiction of them - at least they're friendly and enthusiastic. Most depictions of Mexicans back then didn't go much further than 'lots of guys in sombreros fast asleep against a sunny wall'.
