Hi Sebas,
 
Mafalda is an Argentinian comic strip by Quino. It�s written in Argentinian Spanish, which is slightly differen from the Spanish we speak in Spain ( and so much more sweet and cute). It�s from the 60s and 70s, I think and it�s one of the smartest strips I�ve ever read. There are a lot of people and situations in life which you can easily describe just with one of those strips.Don�t miss the opportunity to read the comics.

i found a worksheet where it says that mafalda is spanish, that`s why i got confused. it was made by a portuguese teacher  
 
 
then i read the comments, where Nabila explains that she is not spanish but argentinian.
 
the teacher who made it says that the important thing is the idea, but i dont agree
 
he should have looked for information first before creating the worksheet!!!!!!
 
regards

hi !! yes i wrote a comment on that ws.

With his opinion of adapting ws as teachers like, maybe some day
he says that the Simpsons are Argentinian, Chinese or Russian.
It doesn`t matter for him if he is giving wrong information.
I think that General Knowledge is very important too.

Well, I can�t miss this for many reasons.
First, it is true, THE GREAT MAFALDA is Argentinian, I love her, and she helped many teens in the old 60s and 70s, here in my country to dream of a better life, she managed to teach all of us, all those things political government, at that time, didn�t allow.
Then, I am Portuguese, so I apologize, if someone called Mafalda a Spanish girl, may be that is not important in the worksheet, but the fact is that Quino and Mafalda deserve to be known everywhere, so that was a mistake.
Long live Mafalda.
