Today, Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, better known as Quino, has unfortunately passed away after a long sucessful life as one of Argentina’s most beloved artists. He was the writer of Mafalda, the little girl who questioned society (and soup) and wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, even in some of Argentina’s most violent and divisive times. The comics of Mafalda remain relevant even today and it’s no exageration that they have raised entire generations of Argentines with their hilarious but thoughtful takes on society, politics, and life in general.

But he also was a master cartoonist, perhaps one of the best in Argentina and the world. Most of his better work does not involve words at all.

To honor him, here’s some of his best work:

Best Tik Tok account is this dude who demonstrably spends hundreds of dollars on bulk purchases of bread to film videos of him walking on it. Capitalist excess as art
