Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for August 05, 2011

Don’t think of it as “paltry atonement” — think of it as “a small step closer to that ’64 Impala ragtop.”

“paltry atonement” = “payday” smart kid | small step > “real life”

Ooooooooh! How much is the pay check?

Baldo seems to have large ambitions ( Judging by the Second Panel)

“Paltry Atonement” – Wasn’t that a band in the 60’s??

Nice artwork, Baldo in superhero form. Did these guys used to be comic book artists?

Love the girdle.

At least his superhero costume was red, white and blue instead of red, white and green . . .

Well, he’s been there quite a while—and who isn’t shocked when they see how much is (or isn’t!) in the check vs how much their “pay” is?

Ah, yes! The semi-weekly insult.

I would love to have an act of paltry atonement – it’s been 4 months so far since I had one.

She looks like Gracie….18 years from now.

Older cars like that usually don’t have to pass emissions inspections.
