Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for April 20, 2023

you’ll get the hang of bowling sooner or later, Baldo, the next time Estella takes you to the alley

If he ever gets a strike, it’ll mean fine tobacco.

Wise words young man.

When I was young nobody in my family knew how, so my Mother got a book on it. We got pretty good.

I’ve never let not being good at sports stop me from liking playing.

So you HAVE tried bowling before, Baldo?

At least he rolls the ball down the alley, unlike my mother who released it behind her the first time we took her bowling.

They must have been having fun!

I used to bowl in a housewives league and also wasn’t very good. But I loved it!

He’s never been good at it? Isn’t this the first time he’s tried bowling?

Anything is fun if you’re doing it with your best girlfriend

So he HAS been bowling before. Estella made it seem like this was his first time in a bowling alley.

I hope he gets to first base again ! ;)

Never been a bowling enthusiast, but… Many years ago I was talked into joining a workplace bowling league and got to enjoy it (mostly the time with my workmates outside of work.) On one occasion, I was bowling so well, that after the 5th frame, each time it was my turn, the whole bowling alley came to a stop to watch me bowl! It came to the 9th frame and I was bowling a perfect game. In the last frame I failed to pick up a split and wound up bowling a 298. The highest score in the bowling alley that year!… I haven’t bowled since.

Good old fashioned fun.

I’m the same way with ping-pong. I’m terrible at it, but it’s fun anyway!
