Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for March 25, 2017

Qué triste. Todo estará bien, la madre de Cruz y Cruz mismo.

El dolor pasara, mientras se apoyen uno al otro!

I agree, so sad. Cruz is such a good character, you feel for him. I’m hoping Tia Carmen gets involved, she’ll know what to do.

My mom never cried when her, and dad divorced. I guess Cruz has a decent father

I like this. A story is told, completely without words. Each illustration is touching and endearing. Solid work by the artist. When you can convey emotion that powerfully in four panels you are doing something right!

Beautifully done !

I so want to give them both a hug.

I am saddened by the constant representation as the husband/father in families in cartoon strips, TV programs and much of media as the bad guy. It has been my experience that when the children reach their teens, the mother often looks to leaving their husband of 20+ years for the “bad boy”. Baldo’s father continuing to raise his family after his wife’s death is admirable. But the wife leaving is more prevalent than the wife dies. Thanks for listening to this gringo who really like your cartoon strips.

Lovely and so true <3

Amazing. Most of the strips are so-so to blah and now, real class and emotion shines through. Well done and congrats.
