Pepe and Dr. Simi

Time and again I have talked about Dr. Simi, the mascot of the drug store chain "Farmacias Similares".  The image of the rotund, mustachioed doctor has become one of the most recognizable and beloved images in Mexico.  If you spend any time in Mexico City, you are sure to see an employee of the pharmacy dressed as Dr. Simi dancing on the sidewalk outside of one of the stores.  Frequently he interacts with passersby... waving, posing for photos, giving hugs, or dancing.  Alejandro's sister was walking Pepe, one of the family dogs, and passed by a nearby branch of "Farmacias Similares".   There was a "Dr. Simi" outside the store, and he posed with Pepe.  She sent me this photo.

Here is are a couple of amusing videos on YouTube that are compilations of shots of the beloved doctor...Dr. Simi Is Everywhere and El Dr. Simi en México.  You don't need to speak Spanish to enjoy them.
