Mafalda. Everything is complicated beyond all reason
39.99 €
Mafalda is the main character of the eponymous series of short comics, or rather comic strips (from the English strip - a strip, a tape, where one horizontal row of frames is one story), created by the world-famous Argentine cartoonist Joaquín Salvador Lavado (1932-2000), better known under the pseudonym Kino.
Smart and reasonable beyond her years, six-year-old Mafalda has a surprisingly common sense outlook on things. She loves to ask uncomfortable questions, speaks directly about everything she sees and, to put it mildly, is perplexed why the modern world, thanks to the efforts of adults, is arranged exactly the way it is.
From 1964 to 1973, black-and-white comics about Mafalda were printed in Argentine newspapers and magazines, and were also published in book collections, which instantly became bestsellers. Mafalda became a cult character not only in Latin America but also in Europe after the publication of the first Italian edition with a preface by Umberto Eco in 1969.
