Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for August 14, 2020

reminds me of that C&H strip where Calvin pounced upon and tore to shreds a box of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs breakfast cereal (“you’re right,” he says to Hobbes, “food does taste better this way”)

And then there is the one where Linus comments on the Design efforts of the package designers at the Snicker Snack cereal company, after he has shredded the top of the box to get his breakfast.

The chips never really stood a chance…..

Yeah, kid, you’re in the chips all right!

And what was the contest, exactly????

Now go attack your Impala.

Sure Baldo, but you lost all glory for that victory when you tossed the empty bag over your shoulder for someone else to have to pick up.

Wife never goes ten rounds with a bag of chips, always finding bag with a few left. She has dedicated her life to trying every variety. I tried that with beer but you have to buy at least six at a time.

Baldo, you monstrous beast!!

Great drawing in panel two!

Written on the bag: 10 servings inside.

So, Baldo, when you were watching Sesame Street as you grew up, table manners was not the lesson you were supposed to be learning from Cookie Monster.

Baldo is there when the chips are down.

Now, Tia Carmen hands him a broom and makes him clean up all the chips he dropped on the floor.

Which is a bit over half the bag.

I thought he won over his sister – none left for her?

For me – could not eat that many or even more than one – one would remind why I don’t eat them if I had forgotten and eaten the one – greasy, salty and too hard to chew.
