This is the second volume in a series of books featuring Mafalda, the famous character created by Quino. These comic strips were published in newspapers in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Tucumán, Santa Fé, and Montevideo. Mafalda was born in 1963 as part of an advertising campaign that the client rejected, but Quino retained. The following year, he began collaborating with newspapers and included Mafalda's comic strips. This marked the beginning of the creative process for this immensely popular character. In 1968, Mafalda reached Europe.

From the Vietnam War and the space race to the third world movement and human rights, the entire world is symbolized in a globe that the protagonist cares for like a sick person—placing it in bed, covering it, and even trying to improve it with her mother's beauty creams. With Mafalda, childhood lost its innocence, and the comic genre shifted from the social to the psychological.
