For the story behind Pimp my Pump crew, all references, info, water pumps, and projects check Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, all the PmP news and a complete list of all pimped pumps will be there, up to date. Also, paint on the pumps, and especially on the floor, unfortunately deteriorates with time, so the pumps can be rather different looking than their pictures in the listing...
EN: Zagor is an Italian comic book created by editor and writer Sergio Bonelli, first published in Italy by “Sergio Bonelli Editore” in 1961. In Yugoslavia, it appeared in 1968, and continued to be published until the war, in 1991. It was one of the favourite comic books of many generations in our country during those 30 years, I still remember it vividly.
Zagor's real name is Patrick Wilding, and he is a western character living in a forest named Darkwood, located in Pennsylvania, north eastern United States. His name Zagor comes from its Indian name "Za-Gor Te-Nay", whose fictional meaning is "The Spirit with the Hatchet". The years are more or less 1830’s. Zagor fights to maintain peace over all his territory, protect the Indian tribes and hunt down criminals. He isn't your typical western character, there's a mix of horror and sci-fi side by side with a bit of humour coming mostly from his sidekick Chico, a short, fat Mexican man who became his best friend. His full name is "Don" Chico Felipe Cayetano Lopez Martinez y Gonzales.
This time, PmP crew surprised us with a huge mural, which shows us what Zagor comic book is really like, and hints the presence of another famous comic book hero, just a few hundred metres to the north.

HR: Zagor je talijanski strip stvoren od urednika i pisca Sergia Bonelli-ja, prvi put objavljenom u Italiji od izdavača “Sergio Bonelli Editori” 1961. godine. U Jugoslaviji, se pojavio 1968-e, te nastavio biti objavljivan do rata, 1991. To je bio jedan od omiljenih stripova mnogih generacija u našoj zemlji tijekom tih 30 godina, još uvijek ga se živo sjećam.
Zagorovo pravo ime je Patrick Wilding, a on je bijelac koji živi u šumi Darkwood, koja se nalazi u Pennsylvaniji, u sjevernoistočnom dijelu SAD-a. Njegovo ime Zagor dolazi iz indijanskog imena "Za-Gor Te-Ney", čije je (izmišljeno) značenje "Duh sa sjekirom". Godine radnje su više ili manje 1830-e. Zagorov glavni cilj je održavanje mira između bijelaca i indijanaca. On nije vaš tipični lik iz vesterna, tu ima i mješavine horora i znanstvene fantastike, rame uz rame s malo humora koji dolazi uglavnom od njegovog pomoćnika Čika, niskog i debelog Meksikanca koji je postao njegov najbolji prijatelj. Puno ime mu je "Don" Chico Felipe Cayetano Lopez Martinez y Gonzales.
Ovaj put, PmP ekipa nas je iznenadila s ogromnim muralom, koji nam pokazuje kako strip o Zagoru u stvari izgleda, a nagovještava i prisutnost drugog poznatog strip junaka, par stotina metara prema sjeveru.

Za priču o Pimp my Pump ekipi, reference, informacije, ofarbane gradske pumpe, i ostale projekte provjerite Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, sve PmP vijesti te kompletna recentna lista spimpanih pumpi će biti tamo. Isto tako, boje na pumpama, a pogotovo na podu, nažalost blijede s vremenom, pa pumpe mogu izgledati dosta drugačije nego njihove slike u listingu...
