Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for September 24, 2021

Not what it looks like, Baldomero!

hopefully he decks the guy rather than make her the villain

She looks surprised.

One. Chance for Baldo to be the hero?

Two. Is she worth it?

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

She still doesn’t have a glass – not sure about her expression there. (she might not be sure about it herself).

Keep watching, Baldo, I think she’s about to slap him! Or at least get up and walk away.

Yep… I think that guy is tipsy and by her expression a slap is eminent.

Sadly, that is confirmation.

Um.

I might be old, yet I do recall getting in deep trouble for going to a party while hiding it from my gf.

Broken trust.

Oh dang! Baldo will be heartbroken.

Doesn’t really matter how she reacts to this guy. She already blew Baldo off by going to this party supposedly behind his back for some reason.

A tangled web, indeed.

Ru-Roh!!!

Have hope that she does the right thing and proves she loves our hero

deck ’em, sweetie!

He’s probably not going to look long enough to see her deck him.

DUN DUN DUN

unfortunately Baldo cant see that Estella isnt happy with the situation she is in. hopefully Estella will put the predator in his place or will Baldo be doing it for her.

I’m sensing it’s her cousin’s birthday & he’s been pressuring for a “present” for years. She’s not telling Baldo because she doesn’t want him in jail for killing the creep.

Yep! I see a wacka-wacka coming!

Main squeeze becomes main sleaze.

“Eminent”… or maybe “imminent”?

Uh-oh.

She looks distinctly unhappy, but Baldo can’t see that and will toss the rose and slink away.

This is getting uglier every day. Now I’m guessing that she knew this guy would be there and decided not to invite Baldo. But you’d think he knows her better than that. Let’s hope it resolves, and soon! It’s making me uncomfortable (really! And I think of this as more of a feel-good comic!)

And, Baldo jumps to the conclusion that she Likes the latin Lothario.

That seems like an older cousin gesture, more than a come on. But it’s primed for Baldo to get the wrong idea.

Oh, the suspense!

Unforeseen surprises are the rule in life, not the exception. Remember: Stuff happens, be ready.
