Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for October 20, 2022

No chips for you, ladrón loco. (I hope Cruz isn’t suspected as an accomplice.)

Uh-oh. A crime in progress. Two persons wearing masks. What’s a responding officer to do?

I hope that it doesn’t reveal that Cruz is undocumented,

How did the police arrive so soon? There’s been no time for a 911 call.

Hope the criminal doesn’t sue Cruz for injuries incurred when he hit him with the can.

Looks like the good guy with a can is about to get a ride in a police car.

From wiki: Güey (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈwei]; also spelled guey, wey or we) is a word in colloquial Mexican Spanish which is commonly used to refer to any person without using their name.

Cruz, guilt by mask association? Hope not, but realistically most likely.

hey, he saved the day after all… Good job Cruz! :D

Do luchadores really use cheesy lines like that?

No real criminal says that in panel 2

Tough decision for the police officer unless the owner speaks up?

TOMORROW—Cruz applies to join The Justice League

Unanticipated consequences of being a masked hero: being confused or associated with the masked villain. Cops have no way of knowing when they walk in the door, so tread lightly here, Cruz.

Chips??? In CA, you can just go in and take a bag and walk out…

The security camera will show how he disarmed the thief!

Don’t know that word, Guey. Couldn’t get the grammar mark over the u

AND THAT is how Cruz ended up behind bars…

Oof, a thrown can could bring a concussion—are there Good Samaritan laws protecting people like Cruz in this instance?
