Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for August 18, 2021

maybe Estella & Baldo are going for a bicycle ride?

This is interesting…

Anybody guess a bike yesterday?

Looks like Estella has found a restored Schwin slightly older than Baldo’s Chevy. Although it looks like they forgot the handle bar streamers.

Why would you think this was something the internet can help with? This is clearly the sort of thing the internet will just throw tons of inaccurate information at.

Did Pee Wee Herman have a yard sale?

Sheesh, 21st century teens will search for partially anything on the internet

Making a mysterious journey?

The surprise is in the basket!

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. . . (Queen)

Do they still make that kind of bell? I haven’t seen one since the 1950s.

My husband would call the kids and say “I have a surprise for you”!!!…. and then tell them about something he had gotten for HIMSELF… and I said that when you tell someone that you have a surprise for them…. it should be something for THEM!!!… not just the news that YOU had something new!

The Pink girls bike is not the surprise for Baldo. He would not want a PINK girls bike.

Uh-oh. Biking is definitely a guy thing in this strip. Something you do with your best friend…not your girfriend!

NICE bike! I LIKE the leather pannier bags on the rear cargo carrier!

I hope there’s not a puppy or kitty in the saddlebag. I love dogs, but they’re not good surprises as they come with lifetime maintenance requirements.

That’s old school.

Saddlebags on her bike.

Picnic Lunch, perhaps?

Why is the Wicked Witch’s theme from Wizard of Oz going through my head now?
