It was said that on Thursday was the anniversary of the famous comic characters in Argentina and social networks were filled with greetings. But the cartoonist Quino saidthat his character has not yet reached the half century of life


For days that the world is beating on March 15 as the birthday of the beloved stripArgentina. But on the website itself had to be warned that Quino Mafalda has not yet fifty years.

"The day of first publication was the September 29, 1964 in the magazine PrimeraPlana. For Quino is the birthday of Mafalda as a cartoon character. Any other birthdayscalculation is incorrect", the statement

He explains that the misunderstanding was due to a biography of his birth Mafalda noted that "real life" would be on 15 March, but 1962. The text corresponding to a reviewpublished on June 2, 1968 in Seven Days magazine.

What did happen by 15 March (1966) is that the artist published a strip in the newspaper El Mundo in which he said that the character was born in 1960. Pure confusion. "Neither of date are taken into account," says the notice.

"Think of a timeline for a cartoon character is difficult, Mafalda is still a child and always will be. So Quino believes that Mafalda's birthday is the day of its first publication in print,September 29, 1964 "detailed in the artist page.

Within two and a half, then come to this well-deserved celebration of the cartooncharacter Argentina. Felipito, Manolo, Freedom, William and other insurance Mafalda's friends will be present.
