Mafalda is one of the most famous cartoon strips not only in Argentina but in most of Latin America. This comic strip appears daily in most news papers even in small countries such as El Salvador. Mafalda is famously used to exteriorize adult issues. In this specific strip I find it very interesting that the authority figure in this case the humour police, asks for his papers and even though the artist provides these papers, the "Policia humoristica" is not happy with him. consequently he asks for some proof of his talent and when he does not find any of t funny arrests the man. This can be assimilated to various issues that arise in Latin America such as abuse of power, Totalitarianisms and a somewhat limited version of freedom of speech.
