Lalo, don’t worry about all those crabby people from the party of “no”. the don’t like anyone except Old White Men and fundamentalist dominionists.I think you are funny, and your strip is about Latinos. So if they don’t like that then they don’t have to read your stuff. I like your stuff.

I didn’t know his name was Eddie Lopez! I had a boss by that name, very nice guy.p51, he thinks it upsets us & doesn’t realize no one reads his rants anymore. (But don’t tell him)

Lalo’s being sneaky here, making a sly joke. Pahrump, NV is notable for a segment of the entertainment industry. Today’s strip is funny & no politics. Lalo, ya done good… :-)) BTW, there used to be Matchbook Ads for electronics training with almost the same wording. I joined the eager hordes and made a decent living as a tech for 45 years or so.

I didn’t know what they would be like until I read them. From now on I won’t bother.

My curiosity was actually about the address he used. 6745 s cesar chavez ave. Its a little pink house according to the google street view right by a park and a buss stop. looks like a nice place for a cartoonist to live. I always liked those ads. The pirate one was my favorite.
