Happy New Year 2021

Bye bye, 2020!

Lots of things happened in 2020 and on top of everything, Quino, the creator of Mafalda died. It’s only fair that I express my thoughts for 2021 through his cartoons and look, I found one that is particularly spot on!

I hope all is well with you and again, I wish you a Happy New Year!

          Espérons aussi! C’est surtout les ados qui disent ça, j’ai dû demander à mes enfants comment on dit ROTLF en français!
          Bonne continuation pour les cours de français et la découverte de livres français dans le texte original.

      Thanks! Each time I pick a Mafalda comics, I laugh. Even the strips about the 1960s politics are still funny today. I love it. (I think that France has a long love relationship with Mafalda)
