Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for May 05, 2024

Throw enough money at it And anything is possible

No cracked engine block?

“The Six-Million Dollar Chevy”….

fusilier

James 2:24

What is up with the fifth panel?! Is that him as a kid..?

We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic car.

We can rebuild him… make him stronger… faster… and it will only cost six billion dollars! (I’m figuring in inflation)

It’s gonna take time … Whole lot of precious time … It’s gonna take patience and time, mmm … To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it …To do it right, child

We can rebuild him… we have the technology… we can make him better than he was…

His car looks like Roger from Nickelodeon’s Doug or is it Stinky from Hey Arnold? Reminds me of one of those dweebs!

This storyline is already old and stale. Almost as stale as the last empanada jokes. He’s smart and he works at a auto-parts store and most likely gets a discount on parts… I think most readers would like to see him at least get it running and maybe with help from his Dad and Sister and Tia…

I thought Baldo referred to his car in the feminine?

A very rare occurrence anymore of a Sunday strip continuing the narrative of the daily installments.

Baldo thinks of this man as a doctor. The 1st 5 panels are showing that Baldo is worried that the “doctor” will say that his patient “the car” is terminal. The last panel shows the reality and the good news that the car can be fixed.

You just need to spend an enormous amount of money and time in it.

I hope there is more to this part of the story. Repairing a classic car is like a boat, a hole on the water to pour your money into.

junk it and spare the rest of its exhaust fumes please

Today is Revenge of the fifth!

The key things: are the parts available and how much?

I am 74. I will never live to the total repair of the Car. The entire family going for a ride might be a great final story to end the Strip….

He’s just building up his price.

Will he live, Doc?

“I’m a mechanic, Baldo, not a doctor!”
