Mafalda was a staple of my childhood. Wonderful. The references may be old but the whole of it is still so relatable. Glad to know is now translated to English.

Mafalda is amazing

I bet you've got your mentions full, but it's hilarious to see spanish-speaking blusky (me included) loosing it over the "for the first time" part. Hope lots of people read it and learn to love the character too 🥰

Quino was god, and Mafalda was his prophet.

First time? There were several strips published in English in paperback format early/mid 2000s. Mafalda was/is a favorite for many Latin American childhoods <3

This is the first time it will be translated in its entirety, not just a handful of strips.

lordmagnusen.bsky.social•43 days ago

Unfortunately, I found the preview translations quite poor.

No worries and I completely understand! Yo solamente los he leído y los tengo en español, pero he visitado bibliotecas con los "Mafalda & Friends" paperbacks. Looking forward to esta nueva publicación. #TeamLibertad <3

It's a part of my life too, and it's nice that more people will be able to read it.

lordmagnusen.bsky.social•43 days ago

Additionally, not only all of the strips are set to be translated, but this edition will have a wider distribution in the US, and probably in other markets.
