Many thanks to Linguist, Brian, AshburnStadium, and others, for their explanation of the history of this strip. Carmen is Sergio’s Tante, not Baldo’s. (That’s still kind of Aunt Bea to me)
I think it was Brian who said that 03-Apr-07 was not a change of course for the strip, but a flashback. But the entire two weeks, from 26-Mar-07 until 07-Apr-07 was quite a trip. If all you saw was the strip from 03-Apr-07, you might think there had been a tremendous change in the strip. But apparently, it was all a “fantasy” (within the fantasy of the comic strip, at that).
I loved the artwork of those two weeks and, in a way, wish that the authors would revive it.
looking at the age difference between Baldo and Gracie, I was wondering when their mother died? In childbirth? There are times when the very young Baldo is seen and therefore Gracie was either not around yet, which seems plausible, or a baby. Anyone know the history of that?

Most striking was the strip on 01-Apr-07: Carmen being handcuffed and dragged away by DHS!*
Who says this isn’t a political strip?
Checking for weeks before and after that episode, I never saw a resolution to that episode.
And the subject matter sure didn’t look like an April Fool’s joke.
