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

Hey! Cartoonists! Get Baldo off this empanada gluttony kick!

Empanada strikes again for Baldo?

And to help you lose weight Baldo has volunteered to eat for you so you won’t be tempted.

Lol! I take everything off – even earrings – if I have to weigh myself. I hate scales, I just go by how my clothes fit and I wear the same jean size now as I did as a teen. :-D

Held = Ate

Sure step to lose weight is yo put the phone on the counter along with the keys.

At the stage where I’m up and down several pounds week to week. Last 15 pounds are the hardest.

Why are you eating in the bathroom anyway? Yuck!

It would help Baldo satisfy his hunger, anyway. Not actually satisfy it, but it would help.

Give Baldo the empanada and you will not see it again!

DON’T FALL FOR IT, SERGIO! It won’t last five seconds once it leaves your hand!

“…hold it in my stomach, that is!”

He’s slim. Why would he want to lose weight?

Remind you of the cute chihuahua in the commercial, “Drop the chalupa!”? LOL

Sergio doesn’t need to lose weight.

Don’t fall for it Dad. It will be gone when you get off the scale.

I always say, 5 Lbs. is within the noise. If you’re dehydrated, haven’t eaten large meals in a while or anything at all, your weight may be artificially down. And if you haven’t gone to the bathroom, ate several large meals, and drank lots of water, it will be up—and all while you’re actually the same weight. Better to focus on getting exercise, which BTW, builds muscle, which is denser and heavier than fat, than to focus on a few pounds here or there. And of course, eat responsibly…which means stop bringing food into the bathroom!

Never let Baldo “hold” your Empanada.

You’ll never see it again.
