It's a very good question. I hadn't even noticed the absence until you pointed it out. I listened to the Kid on radio when I was a kid.... and I hear him again now on the "old time radio" programs. Nowadays, when everything has to reek of sex and Freud, the relationship between Pancho and Cisco sounds either suspicious or amusing, depending on viewpoint. But back in the '50s there was nothing odd about being good friends. Or how about some Cantinflas-style scenes? Men in hundred-gallon hats, and ladies with pointy frontal ensembles.... With bras like those, who needs swords?
