I don't think there are many Spanish-speaking people who answer "I don't know who it is" to the question of "Do you know Mafalda?"I still remember how every Sunday, newspaper in hand, after quickly skipping the policy pages, which neither understood nor wanted to understand, reached the sports and from there to the finals in which they were, among other hobbies, the strip Quino comic, with Mafalda as the protagonist
Little could I imagine that this comics girl was many years older than me, since she was born in 1964, and I could not imagine when celebrating the arrival of the year 2014 that that girl who still makes us laugh and learn, that so endearing, I was 50 years old. And how is half a century celebrated? Well, in style, with the publication of "Todo Mafalda".
"All Mafalda" It is a volume that collects all the strips of the popular girl, her family and her friends. No less than 672 pages with the stories Quino has been explaining for 50 years. Common sense summarized in two or three bullets. The wisdom of children in an instant. His innocence summarized in every moment. An analysis of the most successful childhood, so much, that sometimes we slap the face to see what we have become as we grow.
The price of the mentioned volume is € 44.90 at Casa del libro and I have also seen it at El Corte Inglés for € 42.66. I have not read them all, much less, so if someone does not know what to give me for my birthday, they already have something to do with it, because then I show you some of the Mafalda strips and surely after reading them you will think that you would like to read some more :
