Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for January 05, 2023

do I sense Baldo is going to tease Gracie for having a boyfriend?

No chaperone?

It is nice that this comic shows a male character being studious, mature, reliable, and competent as well. Most media do not do that to a high enough degree, and it causes most boys to be without positive role models when growing up.

Hence women on average tend to get a higher education considerably more often than men do, and young boys tend to turn much more confused, rowdy, agitated, and disorganised, with adult men in the western world statistically being considerably more depressed, suicidal, physically ill, poorly educated, arrested for crimes, subjected to violence, etc. than adult women.

It is not a good development at all overall. It would be much better to focus on encouraging and improving life for men and women alike on truly equal terms.

A really good player tailors his pick-up line to the girl he’s hitting on.

Awwwwwwww!!! Sweet

I"m happy Gracie found someone more compatable. And I mean dungeons and dragons as a first date is a baller move and I respect that.

Looks like a perfect friendship. They’re too young for the next step though.

Any excuse to be with the girl you love, and math IS so romantic.

I think Papa and Tia are going to be breaking out the bright light and low voltage cattle prod

What little kid has math homework I can’t even vaguely define?!

To others, their relationships may seem somewhat square …

… but their interest in each other seems very rational.

Indeed he is.

Ricardo is a very polite young man.

Such passion! (Are you sure this is comics page appropriate?) ;-)

She’s too young for Ricardo to be talking Dirty to her like that.

[sings] And they called it puppy love…
