4* Manolito selling expired food via different means, and customers leaving in disgust, sickness or horror.
5--> '''Mafalda''' (''while cracking nuts in the door hinges''): Bugs! (''looks horrified at the inside of the cracked nut'') Nuts with inner life? Only at Don Manolo's!
6** "Newspapers are full of bad news and no returns them. Life is full of bad things and everyone accepts it. And you're trying to return a salami just because it's spoiled?"
7* Mafalda's many attempts to avoid eating soup.
8* Whenever an adult has a panic attack and requires Nervocalm.
9--> '''The Father''' (''seeing Mafalda thinking''): Zas! Mafalda is probably thinking one of her famous questions. (''places a bath towel over his head, resembling Mafalda's hair.'') "Dad, why this thing like this?"
10--> '''Raquel''' (''entering the room and sees him''): *screams*
11--> ''(cut to next scene, where the father is leaving the pharmacy with Nervocalm drops and a pharmacist looks on at the camera)'' '''Pharmacist''': I'm starting to think I play a pivotal role in the metabolism of this family.

14* A special one would come from the local {{Cloudcuckoolander}}...
15-->'''Mafalda:''' Have you ever heard about the voice of our conscience?
16-->'''Miguelito:''' Yus.
17-->'''Mafalda:''' So how's yours--
18-->'''Miguelito:''' '''''[++[[NoIndoorVoice APHONIC!!]]++]'''''
19* Susanita gets jealous when she hears that Mafalda will have a brother.
20-->'''Susanita:''' Crap... here she comes.
21--> *Mafalda is ''squashed'' dead under a falling balcony, while Susanita looks with a triumphant smile.*
22-->'''Mafalda:''' [[DaydreamSurprise Hi, what are you doing?]]
23-->'''Susanita:''' Oh, just thinking...
24* Mafalda takes a dictionary and reads the definition for democracy ("A system of government where sovereignty is held by the people"). [[{{Anvilicious}} She spends the rest of the day laughing non-stop.]]
25* Mafalda makes a jetpack out of a seltz bottle. It doesn't have enough pressure, so she gives it a good shake and tries again, to the cry of "To infinity!". The last panel shows [[https://stryptor.herokuapp.com/mafalda/01-034 a damaged ceiling and Mafalda's mom bandaging her head]].
26-->'''Mom:''' I warn you, Mafalda, my patience has limits!
27-->'''Mafalda:''' So does infinity.
28* Mafalda, feeling poetic, starts saying that this same Sun has shed a light on "Lincoln, Creator/{{Rembrandt|VanRijn}}, Bolívar, Cervantes", Miguelito adds "Mussolini!" and is beaten senseless, while noting "Grandpa says great things about Mussolini".
