Product Details

Praise

“Mafalda is a hero of our time.” —Umberto Eco

“Each Quino book is happiness.” —Gabriel García Márquez

“Quino’s cartoons made sense of the absurd details of life and society. Each lesson is a wink of silent laughter turned to pure philosophy, social criticism, expressive gestures, and the most refined humor. What a great companion Malfalda has been.” —Ana Merino

“I can’t imagine Mafalda except as the witty girl she was, is, and always will be. Comic characters have that privilege (like Peter Pan) of never aging.” —Roberto Fontanarrosa

“The real Little Prince was Quino.” —Miguel Rep

“I don’t believe humor can alter anything. But sometimes it can be the little grain of sand that acts as a catalyst to change.” —Quino

“Mafalda was a heady mixture of irony and sweet naivete. Filled with subtle references, thinly veiled political debates, and ellipses . . . Quino’s characters formed a community of belonging—a progressive, left-wing, and rebellious sensibility that readers around the world could identify with. Quino’s Mafalda thus became a contemporary myth, a way of giving meaning to modern social existence.” —Isabella Cosse, Jacobin


“Although the concept of universalism has been sneered at for the past 40 years, evidence of its existence can be found in the pages of Mafalda.” — Tom Bowden, Book Beat
