O Mundo de Claudia

Turma da Mônica

I just fullfilled a childhood dream! I met Mauricio de Sousa, the creator of my favorite cartoon character as a kid: Monica! (rói-te de inveja, Rui)
This was a complete suprise, I didn't know he was at the comics fair I went on Sunday! I even got an autographed drawing....

I've been thinking about female rolemodels for children. I was quite lucky. I had Monica who has an unexplainable strength (she beats up all the boys) and Little Lulu, the one who always outsmarts the other kids. What rolemodels do girls follow today? The pop singers? Barbie (yuck!)?
