Über diese Folge

Calimero is a black chick with a half-broken eggshell on his head. He’s always complaining about something or other, with “But it’s an injustice” being his favourite line. A more recent animated version of the cartoon appeared on Disney Junior in the UK in the 2010s. Maybe you can think of someone you know in real life who’s an eternal complainer. Is there any chance other people might think that way about you? Well, French psychoanalyst Saverio Tomasella went as far as naming a syndrome after the cartoon chick. He released The Calimero Syndrome as a book in 2017, covering it extensively.  Isn’t it normal to complain when things don’t go our way? So why do Calimeros complain so much then?
