Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for December 20, 2011

“Cocina,” “Tienda,” “Cerveza,” and “Mesa.” If only high school Spanish was taught this way, kids would learn to actually speak Spanish rather than just memorize conjugations.

Surely we have all read hundreds of parodies of “Visit From St. Nicholas” but so far this is the cleverest. Compliments.

I wonder if the Spanish version is sprinkled with English words, since apparently the only point to this one is to be bilingual.

Destiny23, it’s not- it’s all Spanish. I was confused about the point of the strip, which is why I came here. They have this problem a lot. And in this case, you can’t mix the languages without re-writing the English words to get a new rhyme.

If a cartoonist troubles you with content, perhaps you should select something better suited to your needs. Why agonize over trifles?

So is he a Tecate, Modelo, XX, Corona or Nochebuena guy?

for a good one try Lalo Guerreros’ “Pancho Claus.” A very nice parody. Available on itunes, by different artist.
