Don Ramón is a widowed man from
Chihuahua. His unnamed wife died during the birth of his daughter, the scandalous but likable Chilindrina. He lives in the apartment complex of El Chavo del Ocho, in flat No. 72 (in the animated series he lives in No. 10). Throughout his life he had different trades and sports (or claims to have played them). It is known that he was a boxer, American footballer, bullfighter, guitarist, singer, musician, master builder, etc., subjects on which he enlightens the children of the neighbourhood. He regularly carries out various jobs, usually related to everyday trades: plumber, cobbler, carpenter, plasterer, balloonist, mechanic, churro seller, hairdresser, gardener, clothes seller, milkman, etc. He is charismatic and kind-hearted, but with an explosive character and is very strict with his daughter Chilindrina. He is easily irritable with children; among other things, he is annoyed when Chavo makes fun of him for being skinny and thinks he is old. He physically reprimands
Chavo, Quico and La Chilindrina when they get into mischief, which causes him to be unjustly accused by Doña Florinda of trying or having done something bad to Quico, when in fact it was someone else's fault (on almost all of Chavo's occasions), and violently reprimanded with a slap or even a severe beating offstage, which leaves him very hurt without Doña Florinda allowing him to explain what happened (there were times when Doña Florinda did allow him to explain and others when Quico did clarify that it was Chavo or someone else who caused his sadness and not Don Ramón, although in all situations she ended up slapping him). Many times, after slapping him, Doña Florinda ends up telling Quico: "¡Vámonos, tesoro! No te juntes con esa chusma", and Quico then throws him in the chest saying: "Chusma, chusma" (as if he had been responsible and without ever making it clear to his mother that he was not) and then, on some occasions, Doña Florinda tells him: "And next time, go to (...) to your grandmother". After this, he gets angry by throwing his hat on the floor and most of the time Chavo asks him something about his grandmother in relation to what Doña Florinda told him, which causes him to angrily slap Chavo and say: "Pe-pe-pe-pe-pe..." (mimicking Chavo's crying) and I won't give you another one because...". However, despite the enmity that characterises them both, there are special occasions when they forget their differences. of
Ramón Valdés characterized as this character, located in
Managua,
Nicaragua. Neither has a very good relationship with
Señor Barriga, the owner of the village in which he lives to whom he always owes fourteen months' rent and therefore avoids him as much as possible, looking for ways to escape from him like when he comes to knock on his flat and leaves through the window without him seeing him, or sometimes distracts him with other subjects so that he does not charge him the rent, as in an episode where he says that he supports Monterrey (Señor Barriga's favourite football team). On occasion, however, Don Ramón tries to pay off part of his debt through temporary maintenance work in the neighbourhood, which becomes the theme of every episode (and which ends up getting him into trouble due to Chavo's meddling). On extraordinary occasions he has managed to get money to pay at least a month's rent, as on one occasion; after a great ordeal when he lost the envelope of money and Señor Barriga took all the furniture out of Don Ramón's house, believing it to be another lie of his. Despite this, they are not enemies, as when Barriga is not antagonizing Ramón by demanding money for back rent, they both interact as good friends, and it has been revealed that Barriga frequently pressures Ramón to continue looking for work as revealed in the second part of "El desalojo de Don Ramón". In the third-season episode of
El Chavo Animado, "No te vayas, Ñoño", Don Ramón is happy to hear that Señor Barriga is moving out, until Doña Florinda reminds him how good Señor Barriga has been to him for not kicking him out even though he owes him fourteen months' rent, and to scare him she told him that the new owner of the neighbourhood will kick him out. In contrast,
Doña Clotilde is in love with Don Ramón and constantly harasses him. He does not reciprocate and runs away from her, but maintains a good relationship with her, accepts gifts and food she gives him, and also scolds the children when they call her "witch". He also tends to get along well with Professor Jirafales, however, he is sometimes humiliated and even beaten by the professor (almost always for defending Doña Florinda or Quico). One of his characteristics is that despite his honesty, he shows an absolute lack of interest in work, which is shown through phrases such as: "There is no bad work... the bad thing is having to work" or "How could you think of waking me up at 10 o'clock in the morning? His favourite football team is Necaxa in an episode from 1973 and another recorded in 1978. It is not known what he does for a living, although it is mentioned that the "crisis" left him unemployed, in no episode is it known how he earns money for his living. == Costumes ==
