Transcript:
Gracie: Did you hear a piece of artwork from a batman comic sold for half a million dollars? Gracie: Do you know 1 in every 6 U.S. residents is now latino? Gracie: Afghanistan has one of the highest proportions of school-age children in the entire world. Gracie: Christopher Columbus found Cuba in 1492. Gracie: Did you know, most early universities were run by monks and nuns! Baldo: Did you tell him? Gracie: It didn't come up.
In the Spanish version the third panel says something like “Afghanistan has the highest rate of juvenile alcoholism in the world.”
Could it be we didn’t want anyone in Afghanistan to get mad at us?
