Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón
Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, better known by his pen name Quino, was an Argentine cartoonist and humorist best known for creating the beloved comic strip character Mafalda. Born on July 17, 1932, Quino developed Mafalda in 1962 as a reflection of his views on society, politics, and human rights. The character quickly became an emblem of cultural critique, particularly in Latin America, and resonated with readers through her witty observations and disdain for injustice, most notably her famous dislike for soup. Despite his passing on September 30, 2020, Quino's work continues to inspire and provoke thought, making Mafalda a timeless symbol of social consciousness and childhood innocence.
