Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for January 27, 2023

Oh, how dreadful.

She would miss the love, but not the sore cheeks.

An aunt who only pinches cheeks is preferable to one who insists on kissing those cheeks.

My mother’s friends would pinch my cheeks until I was 10. I’m now 50. I’ve never missed it.

Gracie has a weird facial expression. Is she thinking that Tia Valencia will be dead?

Baldo is very good with words.

When she gets her cheeks pinched she should return the favor to the giver.

Now if only Tia Valencia could find a way to express her love that didn’t drive the little ones away.

No, she won’t.

wise words, Baldo

Not good, Baldo. Gracie has a right to defend her body. Tia Valencia may mean affection, but the impact is pain. Consent is a thing.

Speaking from past experience,no doubt

Burst into tears, sobbing that she hurt you.

Baldo said that with a straight face.

Su Tia will always love you, pinched cheeks or none….
