Mafalda has become one of the most beloved characters in Latin America and her relevance is not only related to affection and nostalgia, but her powerful messages have transcended over the years, so much so that her knowledge empathizes with our current world.
This comic strip has been translated into at least 20 languages around the world. The sagacity and eloquence of its speeches were the perfect hook for young and old readers around the world to give it a place in their homes, their lives and even in their philosophy of life.
Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, better known as Quino, first published Mafalda in the weekly magazine “Primera plana” in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1964, where he neither planned nor imagined that the wisdom of his character would touch all of our hearts, becoming an icon and described by many as an attitude towards life.
Mafalda has been depicted on different products, the fashion industry has been an important symbol for her since her first appearance. Today we continue to see shop windows filled with her face and iconic phrases that remind us of the lightness with which we should take life.
