Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for February 25, 2024

Bop him with the bowl!

Try to outsmart Baldomero?

Empanada thief! Help me Papi.

Uh oh. I wonder what form her revenge will take.

They keep showing a rather nasty side of him… can’t say I like it!

Frosting on empanadas? That’s a new one on me!

The boy has a problem. Some people skills might in order.

Every empanada I see has my name on it…

Baldo says that was excellent perfection.

Rumplestiltskin would be happy.

Marie’s Empanadas used to make a different shaped crimp on the edges to identify the type of filling.

What a brat.

Another fallback strip. Baldo eats the last empanada, Gracie’s empanada.

Do you put frosting or creamed cheese on an empanada?

This “empanada” routine is becoming nauseatingly redundant. It’s starting to resemble the many routines you see in Crankshaft where people just roll their eyes, and think, "Again? C’mon!’ You can tweak it all you want, but it still leads to the same tired ending with Baldo’s finger in his mouth and everyone else upset. I’ve seen enough comments on this arc to know it’s not a popular topic.

Baldo, youre getting to be obnoxious.

An empanada by any other name would taste as sweet. :)

That’s it. I hereby declare that the next time empanadas are mentioned, I stop following this comic. I can only take so much! Believe it or not, I have Mexican friends who don’t eat empanadas!

Baldo is a bully to Gracie. My older brother was my bully. My success, but never perfection, is my best revenge.
