Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for May 22, 2009
Transcript:
Baldo: Really, Billy... anybody can shop at this hispanic-friendly J Mart. It's no big deal. Billy: Baldo, it's pure discrimination! Billy: What is our country coming to when everybody has their own store? Baldo: So you'd close down italian pizza parlors? French bakeries? Indian spice markets? Irish pubs? Billy; Of course not... Billy: They're not Latino.

Prejudice is very selective, but not intelligent.

No, Billy needs to put his head into his butthole!

Yup, but sometimes the subtlety of a freight train is just exactly what’s needed.
I like it.

Billy’s an arrogant little snot, isn’t he? I’d like to shake him warmly by the throat!
And yes, I’m prejudiced against arrogance.

Are they not Latino or Hispanic?

This is getting lame.
@Tapiocahead: Billy is not Latino.

Hey, Carlos! Great strip, but I miss Smiley (the OLD Smiley, not the Barbified one).

I love the look of the animation, but since I don’t speak Spanish, I hope it will be available in English as well.

I always liked Baldo’s taste in cars. Can’t say that I quite drool on them like he does though.

Carlos,
The animation trailer was very good. Baldo and the others are such lovable characters, I’m sure everyone will enjoy the show. Que Dios de bendiga todo.

That is GRRRRRREAT idea to make the cartoon of Baldo on the TV program. I hope English can be used on the TV and of course, Spanish as well, too. Wish you guys good luck for new show of Baldo on the TV. :-)

+1 for an English version (make twice as much ad revenue from showing it on two different networks!) and fbjsr’s genuine description of what Rush Limbaugh is really all about. Viva Baldo! Viva Rush! (Sorry if I’m using ‘viva’ out of context - I’m just a dumb gringo from the valley)

I like being able to read Baldo in Spanish and English. And I do live where there are a lot of rednecks. (“Hold my beer and watch this!”) I just feel sorry for and try to educate the ignorant. Baldo is one great character.

hey guys, thanks for the feedback.
The episodes are in Spanish and in English. We have 13 half hour episodes completed in both languages.
I’m working on getting a full episode available for fans to check out online.
Stay tooned…

If the nice stuff is what Rush is all about, he needs to stop making BS songs like “Barack the Magic Negro” and quit lying about the Democrats. ‘Nuff said.

fbjsr I was just kidding about settling down. Feel free to fight amongst yourselves. Truth be told I actually enjoy the heated discussions.
I’m heating up some popcorn as we speak, so c’mon, let the fur fly!!!
carmy almost 16 years ago
Carlos,
I enjoy the heated discussions too, but uh, the fur doesn’t usually fly here on Baldo. The fur blizzard is at State of the Union. Flying fur can be seen occasionally on some comics (like today’s Baldo), but it depends on the topic. Have a nice holiday weekend!

Carlos, I like the animated version a lot.

Muchas gracias, Senor Castellano.
I only know un poquito Espanol, mostly from high school. But living in South Florida, it’s kinda hard to avoid. Some of my best friends were abuelitas in Hialeah! So, Baldo is a joy to read. It’s kinda like reading the community news in my neighborhood!
