This article studies the representation of oral language used in the Colombian comic strip Copetín by the Bogotá cartoonist Ernesto Franco, which has the staging of street children as its particularity. The corpus made up of 4807 strips is analyzed taking into account morphology, phonology, phonetics, and other extralinguistic elements such as the representation of insults and the use of typographical signs; For this, each representative element of the registry of street children has been taken. It was found that the linguistic register used by the author corresponds to the register of street children and "cachaquismos."1 In this way, it has been possible to inquire, for example, about the origin of certain phonological phenomena and the formation of certain expressions typical of the Bogotá variant of Spanish. This is how this study, one of the first to combine language analysis and comics, aims to open the doors to other similar studies since there are still other elements to be analyzed.

Keywords : Copetín; Ernesto Franco; street children; represented spoken language.
