Leo in the newspapers that Buenos Aires will have a statue of Mafalda, this girl from a comic strip that has made many people reflect on ethical, political, social and philosophical without never losing the humor. Mafalda
was (is) an intellectual and dreamy child who did not fit the usual stereotypes. So was (is) more real than other comic figures. Critical acumen not failed to point out social inequality between women and men. The naive denounced his lapidary phrases that left bare the contradictions and irrationalities of the world.
Mafalda was born in the sixties. As the daughter of his time, was able to analyze the society while laughing, because I had confidence in the transformative power of reason and knowledge.
The sculpture which can be seen in the neighborhood of San Telmo, where his creator, Quino, nicely captures the critical spirit, optimism and deep. The sample sits on a bench, staring at a point far superior. That look is the reflection and construction of new horizons. A smile, just suggested, his face lights up. Is what inspires hope for a better world.
If you have not read yet any Mafalda , there's still time to do it.
