Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for February 06, 2010

Good going, Sergio!

Cool!!!!

and if you want to be able to fill up the gas tank too.

Well said Sergio.

With my relatives and forefathers that are alemanes de Pensilvania, I think the Amish boy would have to work extra hard to get his own buggy WITH THE HORSE.

If Baldo learns better in any classes at the HS, he will have best successful in his future life. Baldo can do that than he got C on his report card.

Hello! Baldo works in an auto parts store! He doesn’t need pocket cash, he needs Johnny Cash!

One day I devised myself a plan That should be the envy of most any man I’d sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand Now gettin’ caught meant gettin’ fired But I figured I’d have it all by the time I retired I’d have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

I’d get it one piece at a time And it wouldn’t cost me a dime You’ll know it’s me when I come through your town I’m gonna ride around in style I’m gonna drive everybody wild ’Cause I’ll have the only one there is around.

Panel 4 applies a saying of Heinlein’s; to paraphrase, appealing to one’s self-interest is more reliable than appealing to one’s better nature. Parents need to connect the dots between good grades and the cool car.

In a BIIIIG lunchbox!

He doesn’t say. But he DOES specifically refer to the trunk and the transmission…
