His life
No one could imagine that the cartoons of mafalda would be translated into more than 35 languages and that, by the hand of his most inexhaustible creation alone, Quino would ensure that one in two Argentines had one of his books.
Orphaned since childhood, in his uncle’s house he drew the comics that he would take to Buenos Aires the first time he tried his luck, when he was 19 years old. Neither newspapers, magazines, nor advertising agencies were interested, so he returned to his native Mendoza and dove-coated.
But with more withdrawals and money loaned by one of his older brothers, he was encouraged to return to Buenos Aires: he lived in boarding houses where he shared a room with three or four people. When things were a little better for him, he went to a room with fewer companions.
On November 9, 1954, when Quino was 22, the magazine This is He published his first drawing -for which he was paid 30 pesos in national currency- and defined it thus: “It reveals a new Argentine cartoonist with ingenuity penetrating the laconic line”.
