Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for October 19, 2021

El Sueño de Baldo… maravilloso.

Hmm – so original.

Translation, ranfla, a car, (slang) a cool car, a lowrider.

The cost to restore it will be a nightmare!

Christine? Money Pit?

Huh. Looks like a “Fred”…

OK, I questioned the placement of the quotation marks surrounding “Baldo’s Dream.” Punctuation is usually placed inside quotation marks but you are correct. This is not a sentence so the placement of the punctuation is correct. Thanks for the lesson!

It should probably be called ¡La pesadilla de Baldo! ( Baldo’s nightmare )

No reason it shouldn’t be Baldo’s dream.

Baldo has had this “project” sitting around for some time. What he really needs to do is start

A guy’s first love!

At this rate it will stay only a dream.

What’s under the hood? Ragtop or hardtop? Stick or automatic? These prominent features could influence a name (?)…and don’t forget the fuzzy dice!

The reality is that, given the decrepit state of the car, it would deteriorate faster than he could do anything meaningful to it. In comic reality, it’ll stay like this until the strip ends.

Before its done he’ll be calling it Baldos nightmare, among many other not so nice names!
