Kid - Bengala Mildred Reis

Let me start by confirming the basics. Chico Bento is set in the fictional countryside and focuses on themes of innocence, community, and environmentalism. It's a beloved Brazilian comic. Now, Mildred Reis (1918-1989) was a Brazilian artist and Henfil's wife. I need to explore how her artistic contributions or support influenced Henfil's creation of Kid Bengala (Chico Bento).
