ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAFALDA

In her 60th anniversary, discover everything you didn't know about Mafalda and her world.

Did you know that Felipe's personality was inspired in Quino's childhood, with his passion for comic strips, his imagination, his shyness, and his boredom when it was time to sit down and actually study? Or that the author loved soup, and yet preferred to make Mafalda hate it as a symbolic gesture against imposition and authoritarianism? And that, when he was a boy, Quino found in the radio a massively important mean to keep himself informed? His parents, both Andalucian, followed every news from the frontlines of the Spanish Civil War through the waves.

All this details and countless more are gathered in this one-of-a-kind book that brings us closer to each of the characters in the mythical comic strip by this great Argentinian author, and takes us to Mafalda's universe through statements, photographs, analysis of topics, and key information regarding the historical and social context: the boom of psychoanalysis, the expansion of the media, the tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, the conquest of space, the Vietnam War, or the advancement of the civil rights movement. Mafalda Universe, which has received the Banda Dibujada Prize, is the greatest tribute to an unforgettable author in the sixtieth birthday of his most beloved character.
