Ranked #8 in Learn Spanish
Created in 1964 by Quino, Mafalda appeared in various Spanish-language newspapers and weeklies until the Argentine illustrator discontinued the series in 1974. The quirky young girl became an icon throughout Latin America, similar to Charlie Brown in the United States. One could say Mafalda is a singular phenomenon, though, as she is popular both with adults and children even 20 years after the series ended. Several volumes of Mafalda cartoons have been reprinted, but this is the first one that gathers a selection of cartoons spanning the 1964?74 period. less
