She hates soup and Quino uses it as comical material. As a child, she goes to school, plays with friends and asks endless questions to her parents. As a character, Mafalda is both a child and an adult. It’s a flavour of Argentina and the world in the 1960s. Mafalda is a Charlie Brown with a strong political awareness. ![]() Then Quino decided to put an end to it, thinking his concept was worn out. ( Primera Plan, El Mundo and Siete Dias Illustrados). Quino’s comics were published from 1964 to 1973 in three different magazines or newspapers. Her father is Quino, an Argentinean cartoonist. She’s very famous in France and her albums are available in most bookshops. Mafalda is the little girl you see on my gravatar and some of my personal posts. I’m not sure comics qualify as literature for this event but I suppose Richard and Stu will forgive me. ![]() ![]() It’s an opportunity for me to write a billet about Mafalda. July is Spanish Literature Month at Caravana de Recuerdosand Winston’s Dad Blog. ![]()
