Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for November 08, 2020

bless you, Anne

…Sorry, I saw the author on the book.

In all my years I’ve found this to be true, but, I haven’t met everyone.

If only it were so.

People are. Take political semantics, out of the way, and the golden rule appears.

The only reason I get out of bed.

That line always tugged at my heartstrings, because Anne was too young to understand that sometimes evil DOES win. But hopefully not forever. I’m happy we Americans didn’t let evil win this time.

Kid, you’re in for a BIG disappointment…

I wonder sometimes, just if and how many people actually believe themselves to be evil?

Well said.

Ah innocence…….

As individuals, people are great. It is when they start forming in groups that troubles begin.

I love Gracie reading the words of another young girl!

Please leave political posts… off of this Sunday’s thoughtful comic…

Bless parents who expose their children to these words. May they never be forgotten.

amen

I’ve often wondered what Anne Frank would have said about that if she had survived the war. I think there’s a good chance she would have removed that sentence from her book.

One of my favorite books.

I would like to congratulate Cantú and Castellanos on their choice of this specific comic strip to appear precisely today.

Over the Hedge suggests this strip was probably written 01-Oct-20 (OTH was; I presume the same here), at a time when no one knew who would win the race. Indeed, up until yesterday, many people still did not know who won the race.

This cartoon would seem to fit the outcome, either way, Trump or Biden. Our country, like the country Anne Frank lived in, just had a very close brush with the greatest evil of the last century.

Whether we escaped it, or voted to continue it, either way, we needed to be reminded of the very human stakes, not at the top, but at the bottom.

The vulnerable.

I wonder how many of those kids Trump jailed at the border are keeping diaries?

For that reason, I really like the Spanish version of this strip. Seeing the above words in Spanish remind me of just how bad the last four years have been for us.

All people start out as warm, wonderful, loving and caring.

Then, their parents take them home from the Hospital.
