This Wednesday, September 30, Joaquín Lavado, the teacher known as Quino who created Mafalda’s character, died yesterday, which turned 56 years after the first publication. In turn, the governor of Mendoza Rodolfo Suárez today arranged provincial duel, through Decree 1195 dated September 30, for 24 hours, after his death. This is where the cartoonist was born and where he died.
Goodbye dear Quino.
His immense legacy reached every corner of the world. With his work he showed us the power of imagination and marked generations with characters who accompanied and taught us so much for decades. (Go on) pic.twitter.com/3fxKLuf1Re — Rodolfo Suarez (@rodysuarez)

“His immense legacy came to every corner of the world. With his work he showed us the power of imagination and marked generations with characters who accompanied and taught us so much for decades,” Suarez said. Meanwhile his colleague and fellow illustrator Luis Scafati, he stated that “a friend’s departure is sad news.” At the moment there is no tribute for the pandemic, although messages of affection from hundreds of users and poignant farewells by social networks.
