Zé Povinho became, and still is, the popular character in Portugal. Being drawn as a country laborer led to some aversion and denial from the Portuguese people to be represented as. Yet his kindness, his will to help others and, most of all, his contempt and utter disrespect for the powerful ones that try to dominate him, made him popular. He ridicules the powerful, laughs at them, and then carries on with his simple life but has the same attitude toward the people’s own weaknesses and prejudices.
