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.")
Despite knowing international success, the legendary Argentine comic strip character has only recently broken into the English-speaking world, with a translation of cartoonist Quino’s work becoming available just last year. A Montreal art café owner is hoping an official statue in the city will help spread the Mafalda love.
