Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for September 01, 2021

you known, Blado, some people say too many consumed empanadas will enlarge teenagers’ bellies

Don’t be so cocky, Baldo. Gracie has just gone to check out your claim. She’ll be back soon, and blazin’.

Clearly if Baldo can pull one over on Gracie this is not true, more likely the opposite.

Gracie is too bright to fall for that v

Learn how to have all the empanadas for yourself with this one weird trick.

When she’s signing your pay checks …

Oh Baldo—-the bite you take will come back to bite you …

I guess Gracie isn’t as smart as she thinks she is to fall for that one.

That just illustrates how misinformation works.

Just because some people (even a majority at times) voice their beliefs and attack any other opinions, doesn’t make it True.

You know it’s a lie when the statement is preceded by “Some people say …” or “I’ve heard that …”

Generally that trick only works when you tell people what they’d want to believe.

She’ll be back. She’s just going to check her reliable source—Tia Carmen!

That’s just not nice at all…..

When I was a party, and found a particular good party favor I would tell those that ask if it was good, No it’s not. It left more for me.

And, when Dad & Tia Carmen find out why Gracie refuses to eat Empanadas, Baldo is in Serious Trouble.

Perhaps Tia Carmen ought to stuff them with leftover Lengua casserole!
