Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for February 28, 2020

Sergio still holds onto Rosa’s engagement ring, huh? (My father still held onto my mother’s until my older brother used it a few years ago. My [future at the time] sister-in-law was most appreciative.)

Maybe this is bad karma, but I’m wondering if they ever get robbed while they’re sleeping or gone. It wouldn’t be funny, but it might create a new thread that has him get the rings back when someone is caught. Then he starts wearing it again. Just a random thought.

Adelante, Sergio. Time to move on!

Now THAT’S getting REAL close to the end of “Queen of the Stardust Ballroom” !! Please wake up tomorrow, Sergio !!

im wondering what the story of his wife is… was she sick?

Rosa died in a car wreck when the kids were much smaller, amanda.elliott3619.

Just when strip gets a bit stuck in rut, there’s a new twist. Think of all the dating jokes!

My story: Oct. 2, 2003, daughter was in second grade, how do you tell her when she gets home from school?

This entire series has been so poignant and moving. Thank you, Mr. Cantu and Mr. Castellanos.

In the 3rd panel, Sergio is getting into bed and the box is still open on the nightstand. In the final panel, he is asleep and the box has been closed. Is that Rosa telling him it’s okay to move on?

And this chapter of his life closes, but never his heart-

This has become one of my favorite comics, because it reminds me of the hard working, family oriented Latino and Latina people here in Texas. There’s a lot of morons also. Those who keep electing Louie Gohmert come to mind. He just voted no on a bill to make lynching a hate crime.

This is being done so beautifully.

Thought provoking.

The ring box looks like a tiny coffin.
