I was thinking about these characters, and... aren't they too similar??
Matilda (Wiki)= "Matilda is a children's novel by British author Roald Dahl. It was published in 1988 by Jonathan Cape in London, with illustrations by Quentin Blake. The story is about Matilda Wormwood, an extraordinary child with ordinary and rather unpleasant parents, who are contemptuous of their daughter's prodigious talents. Matilda was adapted into a film in 1996, and a musical in 2010"
Mafalda (Wiki)= "Mafalda is a comic strip written and drawn by Argentine cartoonist Joaquín Salvador Lavado, better known by his pen name Quino. The strip features a 6-year-old girl named Mafalda, who is deeply concerned about humanity and world peace and rebels against the current state of the world. The strip ran from 1964 to 1973 and was very popular in Latin America, Europe, Quebec, and in Asia, leading to two animated cartoon series and a movie."
Lisa Simpson (Wiki) (well.... all we know her...)="At eight years old, Lisa is the second child of Homer and Marge, younger sister of Bart and older sister of Maggie. She is highly intelligent and plays the baritone saxophone. She has been a vegetarian since season 7, converted to Buddhism in season 13 and advocates for a variety of political causes, including the Tibetan independence movement. She has appeared in other media relating to The Simpsons – including video games, The Simpsons Movie, The Simpsons Ride, commercials and comic books – and inspired a line of merchandise."

(I don't put about Mafalda coz i didn't find a video in english)
What do you think about these similar characters? =/ I always liked this characters, but just some days ago I thought relating them...
I mean... They aren't EQUAL, obviously... despite their similarities, they still having a lot of differences... but... i think they have much in common...

and becouse they are misunderstood in the world that arounds them, there is that similiarity between them, and from me, instant sympathy 
And you must be proud knowing that Mafalda is from your country! I think that even in Spanish, people who don't know her should be curious to see who she is
