Quino, the famous Argentinian Cartoonist, died today of a stroke at the age of 88. His most famous creation, was 6 years old Mafalda, who hated "soup" and dreamed of a better world.

Funny cartoonist. I love Argentina. It reminds me so much of Europe, which I love as well.
Sorry to hear... enjoyed the vid of Mafalda (of what I could watch before video problems occurred at my end at about 10:54 minutes in).

And the Nobel will now miss the chance to be snobed by the great Quino.
