I don't know why the cartoon character Mafalda isn't better known in the US. We live on Mafalda's corner here in Buenos Aires. Not 5 minutes goes by day or night without someone having their picture taken on this bench by her. Her Argentine creator, Quino, lived in a building on the same block. Mafalda is very popular throughout Latin America and in Europe. She is known for her wise beyond her years, irreverant social commentary or general views on life.
"Isn't it the case that this modern life has more of modern than of life?"
"From where do you have to push this nation to get it to move forward?
"Life is beautiful, the bad thing is that people confuse beautiful with easy."
"Errare politicum est"
