Altamiro de la Cueva

Altamiro de la Cueva is a Spanish fictional character and a comic series created in 1965 by Joan Bernet Toledano and Carles Bech for Spanish comic magazine TBO. These stories featured funny adventures of a bunch of prehistoric cavemen. Altamiro, the clear protagonist, is not the strongest nor the most powerful of his tribe, but he's witty, sagacious and favours his comunity a lot. Altamiro is also an artist, and paints in the walls of caves. His name is a clear reference to the Spanish Cueva de Altamira, and also possibly to the Spanish Surrealist painter Joan Miró.

Characters depicted in these comics are physically the same as modern people, but dressed in pieces of fur, a bit like the Flintstones. They are all white. Altamiro is black-haired and has a slight beard.

Also like in the Flintstones', anachronisms are usual in this comics. Altamiro himself developes several inventions which were certainly not prehistoric.
