A panel from Mafalda where the two parents stare at one another as she says, "Papa? Can you explain why humanity is a disaster?"
I am absolutely in love with Mafalda and soon, my friends, you will be too. Translated into English for the first time, I talk with the people who have given her life here in the States. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/01/14/s...
