Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for March 22, 2019

what can we say? Gracie likes books

That’s a really nice gift for her.

Gracie probably has a nice book collection.

Is she reading it upside-down? The cover looks like it is on the opposite side of the book….

“I Love a Girl Who Reads” (YouTube)

So a book came out of that cocoon-like wrapper? That is the funny part to me.

That’s taking it a bit far

what is “mijita”?

they never mentioned why her mother died and they have shown Baldo when he was little and no Gracie. Did she die in childbirth?

Gracie will find other comfort in bed, eventually, for a while, but ultimately, she will find that nothing replaces a good book for companionship.

It’s been brought up in other comics that Gracie’s family is concerned that she may be reading too much instead of doing things that they consider normal for little girls (like playing with dolls), by letting everyone think that she’s playing with a doll they stop worrying about how much she’s reading and she still gets to enjoy her book.I remember my mom once told me that one of my elementary teachers was concerned about how much I was reading and expressed concerns that I may not be able to relate to the real world because I was so involved with fiction, but I’ve never had a problem putting a book down and dealing with real life (unless you consider the fact that I’m an unpublished author to be a problem).

I hope Mijita stays out of sight!

Why are all the comic Friday?
