For almost a decade, between the 1960s and 1970s, Mafalda became the most recognized social criticism strip in the world. Quino, her creator, is a legend of graphic humor, to the point that the comics of this intelligent and talkative girl have been translated into more than 30 languages. What is striking is that Mafalda is still popular today and are still valid.
Using the most ironic and shrewd language of humor, Mafalda teaches us to look at the world with social criticism , to awaken our consciences and begin to act for a better society, with more values and in which we care about each other.

When we read Mafalda, we realize that we are still at the same point where Quino opened our eyes.
