Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for September 01, 2023

From Wikipedia:

Henry Charles Bukowski (/buːˈkaʊski/ boo-KOW-skee; born Heinrich Karl Bukowski, German: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç ˈkaʁl buˈkɔfski]; August 16, 1920 – March 9, 1994) was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles.

Yay for Los Angeles city?

That’s also Dunning-Kruger.

Look on the bright side, kiddo: He has his doubts and is looking him up (the wrong way, but still…)

Bukowski’s pretty strong stuff.

Here, hold my beer and watch this……

Sorry, Charlie, we can’t be right all the time. I know what you’re talking about, though.

Screw tik tok……China spying apparatus!!!

Note to Cantú and Castellanos:

With a growing number of States trying to ban TikTok (understandably so, for the reason MuddyUSA stated in the post immediately above mine), perhaps it might be best if it weren’t mentioned in your strip.

Most likely only if someone else posted it there, Baldo, m’boy!

I’m glad someone posted about who Bukowski is. It helps.

I thought it was John “Bluto” Blutarsky who said that?

The best lack all conviction, while the worst… are full of passionate intensityWilliam Butler Yeats

If you steal steal from the best.

Bukowski is perhaps partially elucidating Yeats:

“The best lack all conviction, while the worst ,/ Are full of passionate intensity.”

Stab him in the ear with your pencil Gracie, maybe it will activate his brain.

Only fools go where Angels fear to tread……

She’s not necessarily wrong

that’s only one problem with the world, but it’s definitely up there on the top 10 list… ☺

My favorite Bukowski quote: “It’s not the large things that send a man to the madhouse… not the death of his love but the shoelace that snaps with no time left.”

This is unfunny

Baldo reminds me of Foxtrot. The not too bright older sibling(s), and the brainiac younger children and their brainiac best friend.
