Ziraldo may be the only writer in the world to enjoy the honor
of having his titles compared to the moon by Neil Armstrong himself,
the first astronaut to walk on this satellite. He said: “The
moon is Flicks”. Multivalent, this children’s book
writer has a long way as a graphic artist, a comedian, an illustrator,
a cartoonist, a caricaturist, a playwright, and a journalist.
He was the first one to create comics in Brazil, gathering all
the animals from the national folklore, a little Indian and Saci-Pererê
(Saci is undoubtedly the most popular and bizarre character of
Brazilian folklore. He is a one-legged dwarf, with holes through
the palms of his hands, who smokes a pipe and wears a magical
red cap which enables him to disappear and reappear wherever he
wishes.). Saci, being the most popular myth in the country, provided
the title of the publication. Ziraldo’s complete acclamation
came with the release of “Menino Maluquinho” (Crazy
Boy), it was read and admired by millions of children from several
generations who even had the privilege and joy of watching two
versions of “Menino Maluquinho” that was made into
movies. During military dictatorship, Ziraldo took part in the
resistance politics. Ziraldo and other comedians founded the most
important non-conformist newspaper for the Brazilian newspapers,
“The Pasquin”
