\"undefined27651563-cartoonist-joaquin-salvador-lavado-aka-quino-poses-beside-200930164704-1601477421181\"By Diego Martinez<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today a great of comics and culture has left us: Joaqu\u00edn Lavado, better known as Quino, the pseudonym he used throughout his artistic career.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Through his most famous character, Mafalda, he inspired us as children to take a critical look at the world and to fight against injustice and abuse, always with a smile. \u00abStop the world I want to get off\u00bb was the phrase that immortalised Mafalda and reflects this spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides being an excellent illustrator and cartoonist, Quino was a staunch defender of public schools, which is why our group \u00abTeachers Marching\u00bb carries Mafalda as a symbol and was also a defender of various democratic rights. In 2018 he spoke out in favour of legal, safe and free abortion, and Mafaldas wearing green bandanas filled the squares across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

After living several years in Europe, he returned to his native Mendoza, where he drew his first sketches and died at 88 today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quino will no longer be with us, but his work will remain alive, inspiring new generations to fight for a better world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Goodbye, maestro.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
