Mafalda first appeared in a comic strip in 1964 when she was
six years old. Despite her age, she was a child with a big heart and an
awareness of the world she lived in. She cared about humanity and world peace
and, in her own way, she struggled against the problems she saw around her. She
also liked The Beatles… but I guess everyone did back then.
Quino, stopped the series. In those ten years she had gained only five years of age but a huge following in Latin America. Readers were drawn to her in a way that, in this region, had never been seen before with a cartoon. She spoke to a community that needed to question the state of the world but lived in a time when it was safest for a fictional child to do the questioning.
