Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for October 14, 2012

Someone, por favor, do the math of how many days left until Baldo’s oficialmente sixteen.

That’s funny. I always thought technology was a wheelchair.

In 59 days, I’ll be 53 years old.

From personal experience, I tutor chemistry and physics and showed one of my students that the answer to a problem was 2 divided by 0.1. She wanted to use her calculator to figure out the answer and said she couldn’t figure it out in her head. I’ve asked other random people if they could answer that simple math question and most say they can’t. In my opinion Sergio is correct and we often use technology as a crutch,

Depending on which state they live in, Baldo could be starting the process of getting his learner’s permit. Wait until he realizes that! Poor Sergio won’t get a moment’s peace!!

he’s been that age since this comic started?

Thank you App.

At the store my total to pay was $5.32 and I give a $10.00 bill, she apolizage and ask me to wait for $1.00 bills, when I was waiting for my change I look for the 32 cents and I hand out to the cashier and I ask for a $5.00 bill, she look at me like I was crazy and get her calculator to figure out the change. They walk around us…

Someone once told the Readers’ Digest that she (I believe it was a she) was at a fast-food counter paying for her order when the power went out, taking down all those preprogrammed registers. Kid behind the counter, having to count her change, says, “Well, I guess we’ll have to do this the old-fashioned way,” and pulls a calculator out of the register.
