 Mesa continued to write for cinema, as well, working with the best-known local comedy duo of the 1980s, Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel (whose wiry and portly physiques, respectively, mirrored those of Lunadei and Mesa, somewhat).His script for the boot camp comedy "Los colimbas se divierten" (1986) was followed by the Olmedo-Porcel duo's last, the 1988 gender-bender "Atracción peculiar".Following Alberto Olmedo's death in 1988, and Porcel's departure for Miami Beach, Mesa's career declined somewhat.
