Mafalda, the beloved Argentine cartoon, brings her anti-war, anti-soup attitudes to Montreal
;Resize=(620) "In this Sept. 29, 2014 file photo, Argentine cartoonist Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, better known as Quino, who created the comic strip Mafalda, poses for a photo with statues of the strip's characters, Susanita, left, Mafalda, center, and Manolito, during a 50th-anniversary celebration in Buenos Aires, Argentina.")
