Quino

Os livros da Mafalda que eu devorei e que ainda hoje me fazem perder de riso. Nunca me deu para explorar mais sobre o seu autor. Fiquei a saber que o “pai” da Mafalda não só é Argentino como nasceu em Mendoza!

“In 1932 Joaquín Salvador Lavado, is born to Andalucian Spanish immigrants in the city of Mendoza, Argentina on July 17, although in the official records his birthdate is incorrectly registered as August 17. From the time he was born, he was called Quino in order to distinguish him from his uncle, Joaquín Tejón, a painter with whom Quino discovered his own vocation at the age of three”
