Mafalda is an Argentine comic strip written and drawn by cartoonist Quino. The strip features a six-year-old girl named Mafalda, who reflects the Argentine middle class and progressive youth, is concerned about humanity and world peace, and has an innocent but serious attitude toward problems. The comic strip ran from 1964 to 1973. It remained a cultural touchstone for Latin Americans of every generation thereafter. At one point, Mafalda and Eva Perón were the two most recognizable Argentinean women worldwide.
