Mafalda heads off on a beach vacation, where she meets a curious stranger: Miguelito, a mop-headed philosopher who happens to live right down the street back at home. Susanita, Manolito, and Felipe, meanwhile, continue to tussle over all manner of issues, romp around the neighborhood, and execute physical feats of great proportions (with the help of a bicycle and a space helmet, Felipe inaugurates the Argentinean Space Program). Only this time, Quino brings everyone together in an alien environment: elementary school.Following the heels of a beloved Book One, Mafalda is back again with her precocious political incisiveness, gags, and hijinks. Mafalda notes the peculiar effects of consumerism and globalization, the ironies of sexism, and the injustices of poverty. Her clear-sighted antiwar beliefs will inspire a new generation of thinkers and activists. All the while readers (young and old) will fall in love with Quino's drawings which evoke the humor, irritation, ponderousness, and energy of childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For an updated release schedule, please reference \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prhcomics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.prhcomics.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eNote:  Release dates may change. \u003cspan style=\"color: #ae1f23;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCover art on Pre-Order is not final \u0026amp; is subject to change.
