Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for January 20, 2012

fun with microscopes looking for evidence that Lio has become contagious

Is it just me or is that a really gross-looking doll? I mean even grosser than “Barbie” or even “Bratz” dolls usually look.

Are those the doll’s sunglasses…or her eyes?

That doll is going to give me nightmares for weeks.…although one look at a barbie usually gives me nightmares for months…: )

judgement? what freaking judgement?…….this kid is so beyond you , dear old dad, that all you should do is provide her with room and board and stay out of her way

good thing that dolls stiffed I mean stiff I mean?

“(What happened to Gracie wanting to be a self-doing-own-taxes accountant/doctor?)”

She could still be a CPA (Cytotechnological Public Accountant).

Besides, she’s a kid. She’s wanted to be an astronaut, President (of Mars, no less, in which case her astronaut training would come in handy), a teacher, a doctor, and the other day an accountant. Give her a different hat tomorrow, and she’ll decide she wants to be a Lion Tamer.

The way she’s handling the doll, she should go into plastic surgery.

she’s a sure thing for the circus – they NEED bi-lingual lion tamers!

What link? You mean the jump from accountant to Lion Tamer? It’s the “Vocational Guidance Counsellor Sketch.”

Here’s a link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMOmB1q8W4Y

PS, TimeTraveler, I just rewatched the sketch myself, and it’s clear that you WERE responding as one who knows. My deepest apologies…

Being a cytotechnologist, I know how obscure my profession is. I’d love to know how the creators of Baldo came to use it. It was alot of fun to run across it in the comics!
