O Menino Maluquinho (lit. 'The Nutty Boy') is a children's media franchise created by the Brazilian writer and cartoonist Ziraldo in the 80s. It started as a children's book published in 1980 which for many years was regarded as a classic of children's literature in Brazil, getting spun off into comics, movies, plays and TV series,[1] as well being known for being Ziraldo's longest running comic book series and the second most popular, after "Turma do Pererê".[2]
The main character, Maluquinho is a cheerful and optimistic 10-year-old boy who wears a pan on his head like a hat. Most of the stories revolve around the misadventures of Maluquinho and his friends with a light humour.
